PROSPECTUS SUMMARY
THE FOLLOWING SUMMARY IS QUALIFIED IN ITS ENTIRETY BY THE MORE DETAILED
INFORMATION AND CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, INCLUDING THE NOTES THERETO,
APPEARING ELSEWHERE IN THIS PROSPECTUS. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE INDICATED ALL
INFORMATION IN THIS PROSPECTUS ASSUMES THE UNDERWRITER'S OVER-ALLOTMENT OPTION
IS NOT EXERCISED.
THE COMPANY
Security Bank Holding Company (the "Company") is a bank holding company
headquartered in Coos Bay, Oregon. The Company's principal subsidiary is
Security Bank ("Security Bank"), a state-chartered, FDIC-insured commercial bank
organized in 1919, which serves Coos and Curry Counties, Oregon, from seven
offices. The Company's only other subsidiary is Lincoln Security Bank ("Lincoln"
or "Lincoln Security"), a newly-organized state-chartered bank located in
Newport, Oregon, in which the Company holds a majority interest. Security Bank
and Lincoln Security are referred to collectively herein as the "Banks". The
Banks offer a broad range of commercial and personal banking services to their
customers, who are primarily individuals, small and medium-sized businesses, and
professionals. The Banks' lending activities include commercial, real estate
construction and consumer loans. They also originate residential mortgage loans
most of which are fixed rate loans sold into the secondary market primarily to
the Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage
Corporation. Through a subsidiary of Security Bank, the Company acts as an
insurance agent selling annuities, whole life and health care insurance and,
through an unaffiliated securities broker dealer, makes available mutual funds
for its customers.
At March 31, 1996, the Company had consolidated assets of $166.3 million,
net loans of $77.1 million and deposits of $133.2 million. Since January 1,
1990, total assets, net loans, and deposits have each increased at a compound
annual rate of 12.29%, 7.78% and 10.60%, respectively.
The Company's return on equity has exceeded 12% for each year since 1990 and
was 15.39% and 16.61% for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively, and 14.74% (annualized) for the three months ended March 31, 1996.
During this period the Company has maintained strong asset quality, as its net
loan charge-offs as a percentage of loans averaged 0.17%, which is below peer
group averages.
The Company has enjoyed this growth and performance from its primary markets
of Coos and Curry Counties. While the population of and employment in these
counties are now growing, rebounding from significant declines during the late
1970's and early 1980's when forest products production dropped precipitously,
Security Bank has grown faster than the markets it serves by gaining market
share from competitors. The Company believes that its success is attributable to
its emphasis on personalized customer service, its mix of innovative products
tailored to the needs of its local customers, and its identity as a local
community bank. To enhance this success, the Company is pursuing strategic
opportunities in markets beyond those which it currently serves. For example, to
diversify credit risks and generate more loan demand, Security Bank opened a
mortgage banking office in Eugene, Oregon, in November, 1995. In addition, the
Company's investment in Lincoln Security is intended to expand the Company's
market by replicating the successful strategy used by Security Bank. The economy
of Lincoln County derives more benefit from tourism and its proximity to
Portland, Oregon, than Coos and Curry Counties, and is currently enjoying lower
unemployment rates. The Company believes that the investment in Lincoln Security
Bank further diversifies the Company's exposure to credit risks and presents an
opportunity to experience additional growth.
The Banks compete directly with much larger commercial banks, each of which
is a subsidiary of a multi-state financial services company, operates in a
number of other markets, and has more resources than the Banks. In order to
compete effectively, the Banks have chosen to provide more personal customer
service than their competitors, and distinguish themselves as the local
community bank in their respective markets. This marketing strategy has
permitted Security Bank to enjoy strong net interest margins, among the highest
of community banks of any size. As community banks,
3
<PAGE>
the Banks are able to offer loan and deposit products specifically designed for
the markets they serve. For example, Security Bank offers products intended to
meet the needs of the increasing number of retirees which constitute a high
percentage of the new residents in Coos and Curry Counties. As a result of its
business strategy, Security Bank has been the fastest growing bank in its market
since 1990, as measured by the rate of increase in total deposits.
RISK FACTORS

investment in the Common Stock offered hereby. Such risks include the exposure
to the local economy, credit and interest-rate risks, concentration of ownership
in certain shareholders, regulatory risks, dependence on key personnel,
competition, a limited market for the stock, and certain other risks as more
fully discussed herein. See "Risk Factors".

RISK FACTORS
Prospective investors should carefully consider the following risk factors
as well as the other information contained in this Prospectus.
EXPOSURE TO LOCAL ECONOMY
The Company's performance is substantially dependent on the banking
operations of the Banks. Security Bank's operations are materially dependent
upon and sensitive to the economy of its market area along the southern Oregon
coast. Adverse economic developments can impact the collectibility of loans and
have a negative effect on the Company's earnings and financial condition. The
economies of Coos and Curry Counties depend primarily on forest products
manufacturing, retail trade, tourism, government, services and agriculture.
Particularly in the 1980's, Security Bank's market area experienced high
unemployment as a result of the shift away from forest products manufacturing,
including a 48% reduction in Coos County forest products manufacturing jobs from
1983 to 1993. The job losses and mill closures of the early 1980's led to
significant loan losses by the Bank. Subsequent developments have reduced the
dependence of the local economy on forest products manufacturing and have
increased the number of non-manufacturing jobs. Nonetheless, forest products job
losses are expected to continue and there can be no assurance that new jobs will
replace those lost, or that future economic changes will not have a significant
adverse impact on Security Bank and the Company. Lincoln Security is similarly
exposed to and dependent on the economy of its market area in Lincoln County,
which, although not as dependent on the forest products industry as Coos or
Curry Counties, is nonetheless subject to changes in its primary industries of
tourism and fishing. Accordingly, no assurances can be made that future economic
changes will not have a significant adverse impact on Lincoln Security. See
"Business -- Economic Conditions and Demographics."
CREDIT RISK
The Company, like other lenders, is subject to credit risk, which is the
risk of losing principal and interest due to a customer's failure to repay
according to the terms of loan agreements. Security Bank's net charge-offs, past
due loans, and non-performing loans have been significantly less than community
banks of similar size over the past three years. As a new bank, Lincoln has had
no loan-loss experience. The Banks lend on a short-term basis to commercial and
individual borrowers for construction purposes and provide variable rate pricing
on term real estate loans. As of March 31, 1996, Security Bank had approximately
46% of its loan portfolio in real estate related loans which included a mix of
commercial, residential and construction real estate loans. A downturn in the
economy or the real estate market along the central or southern Oregon coast or
a rapid increase in interest rates could have a negative impact on collateral
values and the borrowers' ability to repay. See "Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations -- Lending and Credit
Management."
INTEREST RATE RISK
The Banks' earnings are largely derived from net interest income, which is
interest income and fees earned on loans and investment income less interest
expense paid on deposits and other borrowings. Interest rates are highly
sensitive to many factors which are beyond the control of the Banks, including
general economic conditions and the policies of various governmental and
regulatory authorities. As interest rates change, net interest income is
affected. With fixed rate assets (such as fixed rate loans) and liabilities
(such as certificates of deposit), the rate at which this change occurs depends
on the maturity of the asset or liability. The differences between the amounts
of interest-sensitive assets and interest-sensitive liabilities, measured over
various time periods, are referred to as sensitivity gaps. Although management
strives to minimize risk through asset/liability management policies and
believes that the maturities of the Banks' assets are reasonably balanced in
relation to maturities of liabilities to limit sensitivity gaps, from time to
time maturities are not balanced. During such periods, a rapid decrease or
increase in interest rates could have an adverse effect on the spreads
7
<PAGE>
between the interest rates earned on assets and the rates of interest paid on
liabilities, and therefore on the Banks' results of operations. See
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations -- Interest Sensitivity."
LINCOLN SECURITY BANK
As part of the Company's strategic plan for growth through geographical
diversification, the Company recently assisted with the organization of Lincoln
Security Bank, a new commercial bank in Newport, Oregon, which received its
charter and commenced operations on May 30, 1996. The Company invested
approximately $2.3 million of Lincoln's $3.0 million initial capital through the
purchase of all of the shares of Lincoln's Class B Common Stock, and has
committed to provide administrative and operational support to the new bank. The
Company owns a majority of Lincoln's voting stock and can elect a majority of
its Board of Directors. The initial Board of Directors, however, consists of
local Lincoln County representatives. Although the Company, through its
ownership of a controlling interest, retains the prerogative of replacing
Lincoln's directors and otherwise influencing management decisions, the Company
expects to permit the bank to operate as an independent community bank provided
that the bank's performance is deemed satisfactory by the Company's board of
directors, giving consideration to the operating history of the bank, the local
economic and demographic conditions, and factors affecting the banking industry
in general.
Local investors, who purchased shares of Lincoln's Class A Common Stock in a
community offering to raise the balance of the initial capital of the bank, have
an option to purchase the Class B Common Stock from the Company, in accordance
with a shareholders agreement, during a five year period beginning on May 30,
2001, and ending May 30, 2006. Accordingly, the Company's return on its
investment in Lincoln could be limited to a pre-determined price for the Class B
Common Stock in accordance with the terms of the shareholders agreement. See
"Business -- Lincoln Security Bank."
As a commercial bank, Lincoln faces not only the same risks faced by most
community banks, but also has commenced its operations with no previous
business, depositors, loan customers or other business relationships. Even if
Lincoln is successful in implementing its business plan, which success cannot be
assured, it is likely to incur losses during the first year of operation in any
event. Moreover, as the ability of Lincoln to pay dividends to its shareholders
is limited by regulatory restrictions, the Company is unlikely to receive
dividends from the bank in the foreseeable future. See "Business -- Lincoln
Security Bank" and "Supervision and Regulation -- Dividends."
MORTGAGE LENDING OPERATION'S CONTRIBUTION TO INCOME
Security Bank derives income from originating mortgage loans and selling
them into the secondary market. The contribution to Security Bank's pre-tax
income from this activity represented 10.36% for the three month period ended
March 31, 1996, and 6.51% and 5.55% for the years ended December 31, 1995, and
1994, respectively. The bank has benefitted from mortgage refinancing
transactions that have been motivated by favorable interest rates. Although
Security Bank will continue to originate and sell loans into the secondary
market, there is no assurance that the current favorable interest rate
environment will continue or that mortgage lending operations will continue to
contribute as favorably to the net income of the Bank. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
- --Non-Interest Income."
CONCENTRATION OF OWNERSHIP
As of March 31, 1996, 35.43% of the Company's outstanding shares were held
by the Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"), although 53.38% of
those shares are pledged by the ESOP to secure borrowings from the Company, and
are not allocated to employees and are therefore excluded from earnings and book
value per share calculations. Although the percentage of total outstanding
shares held by the ESOP will decrease to 31.45% after this Offering, the ESOP
will remain the Company's largest shareholder by a significant margin. The ESOP
is under the supervision of a three-member Board of Trustees appointed by the
Board of Directors of the Company.
8
<PAGE>
Currently, one of these Trustees is an employee of the Bank. Under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act ("ERISA"), the Trustees are obligated to act in
the best interests of the employee-beneficiaries of the ESOP, as investors in
the Company. See "Management -- Other Benefit Plans."
The directors of the Company currently own an additional 222,042 shares, or
8.04% of the Company's outstanding shares (in addition to certain shares in the
ESOP), which will decrease to 7.13% after the Offering. An investor not
represented on the Board of Directors holds an additional 18.42% (16.35% after
the Offering) of the outstanding shares. See "Principal Shareholders."
COMPETITION
The banking industry in Oregon is highly competitive with respect to both
loans and deposits, and is dominated by a small number of large banks with many
offices operating over a wide geographic area. As of March 31, 1996, there were
four other commercial banks with twenty-three offices in Security Bank's primary
service area, all of which are banks with significantly greater assets and with
operations in other parts of Oregon. Additionally, there are several credit
unions, a savings association, finance companies and mortgage companies in the
Company's service area. A similar competitive environment exists in Lincoln
County where Lincoln Security Bank operates. Among the advantages possessed by
the Banks' commercial bank competitors is the ability to conduct wide-ranging
advertising campaigns and to allocate assets to geographic regions of higher
yields and demand. By virtue of their greater total capitalization, such banks
also have substantially higher lending limits than the Banks. Additionally, such
banks offer certain services, such as trust and international banking services,
which are not offered directly by the Banks, but are offered through
arrangements with correspondent institutions. In 1994, the Riegle-Neal
Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act was adopted by Congress which
permits banks to cross state boundaries. Some of the Banks' competitors are
likely to reduce costs by combining what are now commonly-owned separate banks
in different states. Although Security Bank has been able to compete effectively
in its market area, there can be no assurance that it will be able to continue
to do so, or that Lincoln Security will effectively compete in its market area.
See "Business -- Competition."
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL
The Company's success is dependent on the services of Charles D. Brummel,
President and Chief Executive Officer, and Michael J. Delvin, Executive Vice
President, of the Company and the Bank. The loss of services of either
executive, or of certain other key officers, could adversely affect the Company
and the Bank. No assurance can be given that replacement officers of comparable
abilities could be found. The Company does not maintain key person life
insurance on these individuals. See "Management."
LIMITED MARKET FOR THE SHARES
There is currently a limited market for the Company's shares. Although the
shares will be offered on the over-the-counter market, and application has been
made to list the shares on the National Association of Securities Dealers
Automated Quotation ("NASDAQ") National Market System ("NMS"), there can be no
assurance that an active public market will develop or be maintained for the
shares. Black & Company, Inc., the Underwriter of the Offering, and Ryan Beck &
Co. have committed to make a market in the shares. The Company will seek and
encourage other market makers to make a market, but no assurance can be given as
to whether an active market will develop. The market price could be subject to
significant fluctuations in response to variations in quarterly operating
results of the Company, general conditions of the banking industry and other
factors. If an active market in the shares does not develop, the price of the
shares may fluctuate substantially due to the effect of supply and demand in a
limited market. Even if an active market for the shares does develop, investors
in this Offering cannot be assured of being able to resell shares purchased in
the Offering at or above the initial offering price. See "Market for Common
Stock."

<PAGE>
DEPENDENCE UPON SUBSIDIARY OPERATIONS
The Company is a bank holding company and is substantially dependent upon
dividends from its subsidiaries, the Banks, for revenues to pay its expenses,
including debt repayment, and to pay dividends to shareholders. The Banks are
subject to regulatory limitations upon the payment of dividends and the receipt
of dividends from the Banks cannot be assumed. Further, no cash dividends are
anticipated from Lincoln Security during that bank's initial years of operation.
Accordingly, the Company is dependent on Security Bank for its revenues.
Although the Company expects to continue to receive dividends from Security
Bank, no assurances as to the timing or amount of future dividends can be made.
See "Dividends" and "Supervision and Regulation -- Dividends."
OFFERING PRICE
The price of the shares offered hereby was derived from negotiations between
the Company and the Underwriter. There can be no assurance that the market will
sustain the offering price or that the offering price necessarily indicates the
actual value of the Common Stock. Although past trading has been limited, the
closing bid prices over the past three years have, except in the fourth quarter
of 1995, been below the offering price of the Common Stock. See "Underwriting"
and "Market for Common Stock."
REGULATORY RISK
Banks are subject to extensive regulation. These regulations are intended to
protect depositors not shareholders. As state-chartered banks, the Banks are
subject to regulation and supervision by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation ("FDIC"), which insures the Banks' deposits, and the Director of the
Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services, through the Division of
Finance and Corporate Securities (the "Oregon Director"). As a bank holding
company, the Company is subject to regulation and supervision by the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Federal Reserve") and the Oregon
Director. Federal and state regulation puts banks at a competitive disadvantage
compared to less regulated competitors such as finance companies, credit unions,
mortgage banking companies, and leasing companies.
While the banking industry continues to lose market share to less regulated
competitors, legislative reactions to the problems of the thrift industry have
added to the regulatory burden on banks. The Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 ("FDICIA") amended numerous federal banking
statutes and has required the bank regulatory agencies to adopt regulations for
implementing many of its provisions. The FDICIA and the regulations thereunder
have increased
regulatory and supervisory requirements for financial institutions which has
resulted, and will continue to result, in increased operating expenses. See
"Supervision and Regulation."
ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS
Oregon law includes limitations upon the acquisition of an Oregon
corporation, such as the Company. As a bank holding company, the acquisition of
the Company or its subsidiaries would be subject to approval of banking
regulators. These limitations and requirements may serve to delay or prevent an
acquisition of the Company by another financial institution without the consent
and cooperation of the Board of Directors of the Company. Moreover, certain
provisions of Oregon law limit the ability of persons or entities to acquire
control of the Company or to effect certain corporate transactions without the
consent of the board of directors or the shareholders. These provisions are
intended to discourage hostile corporate acquisitions. In addition, the
Company's articles of incorporation authorize the board of directors to issue
additional shares of authorized but unissued shares of the Company's stock,
including the Common Stock, voting preferred stock, and warrants, options or
other rights to acquire shares of stock. While this authority is intended to
give the board the ability to raise capital, and provide flexibility in
financing corporate transactions, the issuance of additional securities of the
Company could have the effect of diluting the ownership interest of a
substantial shareholder or increasing the consideration necessary to acquire
control of the Company, and could thus be deemed to be an anti-takeover
provision. Further, the Company's bylaws provide for a staggered board of
directors whereby approximately one-third of the director positions are filled
each
10
<PAGE>
year. This provision makes it more difficult for a dissident shareholder to
remove the entire board of directors at one time. Such a provision may have the
effect of discouraging potential acquirors, and may be considered an
anti-takeover defense. Oregon law and the Company's bylaws may therefore have
the effect of making the Company less attractive for takeover, and the
shareholders may not benefit from a rise in the price of the Common Stock that a
takeover could cause. See "Description of Common Stock -- Anti-takeover
Provisions."
USE OF PROCEEDS
The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Common Stock offered by
the Company are estimated to be $2,648,000 after deduction of underwriting
discounts and expenses payable by the Company.
Management expects to use the net proceeds of the Offering to enhance
capital levels to support the growth of the Company and for general corporate
purposes. The Company's investment in Lincoln Security committed a significant
portion of the Company's available capital. Consequently, the Company believes
it prudent to restore capital levels to prior levels to position the Company to
take advantage of future opportunities for growth or expansion should such
opportunities arise. The Company will from time to time consider investment or
acquisition candidates and establishment of branches outside its current market
area. The Company currently has no specific plans, agreements or other
arrangements with others for any investment or acquisition at this time.
The Company may also use certain of the net proceeds to pay some or all of
the Company's indebtedness to Bank of America Oregon, with a current balance of
$644,000, incurred in connection with the Company's Employee Stock Ownership
Plan. See "Management -- Other Benefit Plans." Pending their ultimate
application, the net proceeds will be invested in short-term investments.
The Company and the Bank currently exceed all regulatory capital
requirements and are therefore not required to raise additional capital to
comply with such requirements. After the Offering, the Company expects to
continue to exceed all regulatory requirements.

MARKET FOR COMMON STOCK
Only a limited market for the Common Stock has existed prior to this
Offering. The Common Stock has been traded over-the-counter through the OTC
Bulletin Board and the Pink Sheet Service of the National Quotation Bureau. The
Company has applied for inclusion of the Common Stock on the NASDAQ National
Market System under the symbol "SBHC" effective on the date of the Offering.
Effective with the Offering, the Company's Common Stock will be registered under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is expected to be eligible to be held in
margin accounts. The following lists the bid prices at the end of each period,
obtained from Black & Company, Inc., the principal market maker in the Company's
Common Stock, as adjusted for prior stock dividends including a 50% stock
dividend paid on January 5, 1996. Prices do not include retail mark-ups, mark-
downs or commissions and may not represent actual transactions:

DILUTION
The net tangible book value of the Company at March 31, 1996 was $13,865,340
or $6.19 per share of Common Stock. Net tangible book value per share is
determined by dividing the net tangible book value of the Company (tangible
assets less liabilities) by the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock
(excluding 522,471 shares held of record by the Security Bank Holding Company
Employee Stock Ownership Plan Trust which are not allocated to employees and are
pledged to secure repayment of indebtedness to the Company). After giving effect
to the issuance and sale of 350,000 shares of Common Stock being offered by the
Company (at an assumed Offering price of $9.00 per share) and after deducting
Underwriting discounts and offering costs, the net tangible book value per share
at March 31, 1996 would have been $6.38. This represents an immediate increase
in net tangible book value of $0.19 per share to the existing shareholders and
an immediate dilution of $2.62 per share to new investors.
The following table illustrates this per share dilution in net tangible book
value:

DIVIDENDS
The Company has paid cash dividends for each of the past six full fiscal
years. Dividends for those periods were as follows:

</TABLE>
- ------------------------
(1) Adjusted to reflect subsequent stock dividends.
In addition to cash dividends, the Company issued a 100% stock dividend in
August, 1994 and a 50% stock dividend in January, 1996.
The Company has no significant operations and is dependent upon its
subsidiaries, the Banks, for revenues through the receipt of dividends from the
Banks to pay its expenses and to provide cash dividends to the Company's
shareholders. Currently, and for the foreseeable future, Security Bank is the
Company's sole source of dividends. Oregon and federal banking laws and
regulations place restrictions on the payment of dividends by a bank to its
shareholders. See "Supervision and Regulation -- Dividends." The Board of
Directors' dividend policy is to review the Company's financial performance,
capital adequacy, regulatory compliance and cash resources, and, if such review
is favorable, to declare and pay a cash dividend to its shareholders
semi-annually. Although the Company expects to continue to pay cash dividends,
future dividends are subject to these limitations and to the discretion of the
Board of Directors, and could be reduced or eliminated. The performance of
Lincoln Security Bank is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's
ability to pay dividends.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1995, AND
THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994
The following summary financial data and the discussion and analysis should
be read in conjunction with the Company's unaudited consolidated financial
statements and the notes thereto for the three month periods ended March 31,
1996 and 1995, and its audited consolidated financial statements and the notes
thereto for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994 included elsewhere in
this Prospectus. This discussion pertains only to financial results for Security
Bank, up to and including March 31, 1996, the fiscal quarter preceding the
commencement of operations of Lincoln Security Bank. The results of operations
for the Company in future periods may be affected by many factors, including the
results of operations of Lincoln Security, which is not expected to contribute
significantly to the earnings of the Company during the next twelve months, and
economic and demographic changes in the Company's market areas. See "Business --
Lincoln Security Bank" and "-- Economic Conditions and Demographics." All
references the "Bank" in the following discussion are references to Security
Bank.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The operating results of the Bank depend primarily on its net interest
income. The Bank's net interest income is determined by its interest rate
spread, the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing
liabilities, and the degree of mismatch in the maturity and repricing
characteristics of its interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities.
Interest rate spread is the difference between the yields earned on its
interest-earning assets and the rates paid on its interest-bearing liabilities.
The Bank's net income is also affected by the establishment of provisions for
loan losses and the level of its other income, including service charges on
deposit accounts and sold real estate loan fees, as well as its other expenses
and income tax provisions.

</TABLE>
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 AND 1995
GENERAL. As shown in the table above, net income increased to $377,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1996 from $342,000 for the same period of 1995,
a 10.23% increase. The increase in both interest income and non-interest income
were more than offset by increases in interest expense
16
<PAGE>
and non-interest expense. The increase in net income is entirely attributable to
a lower provision for income taxes in the three month period ended March 31,
1996, over the same period in 1995, as a result of overpayment of income taxes
in 1995.
NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income before the provision for loan
losses increased $62,000 or 3.38% for the three months ended March 31, 1996 over
same period in 1995. The increase in interest income was primarily due to a
$14.1 million or 10.43% increase in average interest-earning assets for the
three months ended March 31, 1996 over the same period in 1995. The largest
component of the increase in earning assets was increased loan volume, which
accounted for $259,000 of the total increase in interest income. The yield on
earning assets decreased to 8.50% for the three months ended March 31, 1996,
from 8.56% for the same period in 1995. This decrease in yield accounted for a
$10,000 decrease in interest income. The remaining $32,000 of the increase in
interest income was due to one additional day in the three month period ended
March 31, 1996 over the same period in 1995. The increase in interest expense
was split evenly between rate and volume. Interest-bearing liabilities increased
$9.0 million or 7.65% for the three months ended March 31, 1996, compared to the
same period in 1995. The volume increase accounted for $104,000 of the increase
in interest expense. The rate on interest-bearing liabilities increased to 4.02%
for the three months ended March 31, 1996, compared to 3.58% for the same period
in 1995. This increase in rate accounted for a $103,000 increase in interest
expense. The remaining $12,000 of the increase in interest expense was due to
one additional day in the three month period ended March 31, 1996 over the same
period in 1995.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. The loan loss provision during the three month
period ended March 31, 1996, was $45,000 the same as for the same period in
1995. Net charge-offs during the three-month periods were $12,000 and $9,000 for
1996 and 1995, respectively.
Management believes the loan loss provision maintains the reserve for loan
losses at an appropriate level. The reserve for loan losses was $1,096,000 at
March 31, 1996, as compared to $1,063,000 at March 31, 1995. The Bank's ratio of
reserve for loan losses to total loans was 1.36% at March 31, 1996, compared to
1.32% at March 31, 1995.
Non-performing assets (defined as loans 90 days or more past due, and other
real estate owned) were $464,000 and $200,000 at March 31, 1996 and 1995,
respectively. The increase in non-performing assets is attributable to
non-performing loans secured by single family residential real estate.
Management believes the loans are adequately secured and that no significant
losses will be incurred. Management does not believe that the increase
represents a deterioration of the credit quality of the loan portfolio or an
indication of future credit problems.
NON-INTEREST INCOME. Non-interest income increased 44.37% in the first
three months of 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995. The increase in
non-interest income is due in large part to fees generated by the origination
and sale of mortgage loans. Mortgage loan originations were $15.5 million in the
first three months of 1996, up from $3.7 million for the same period in 1995.
Loans sold were $15.9 million and $3.5 million for the first three months of
1996 and 1995, respectively, generating $257,000 and $86,000 of fee income
during each respective period, an increase of 199.11%. Security Bank has
benefitted from mortgage refinancing transactions that have been motivated by
favorable interest rates. Although the Bank will continue to originate and sell
loans into the secondary market, there is no assurance that the favorable
interest rate environment will continue or that mortgage lending operations will
continue to significantly contribute to the net income of the Bank.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE. Non-interest expense increased 15.59% in the first
three months of 1996 compared to the first three months of 1995. The primary
non-interest expenses are salaries and employee benefits, and expenses relating
to occupancy and equipment. Salaries and employee benefits were up due to
increased staff levels in the commercial loan department and the Eugene loan
production office which opened in November, 1995.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994
GENERAL. Net income increased to $1.9 million for the year ended December
31, 1995 from $1.7 million for the same period in 1994, a 11.28% increase. The
combined increases in interest income and non-interest income exceeded increases
in interest expense and non-interest expense.
NET INTEREST INCOME. Net interest income before the provision for loan
losses increased $0.5 million or 6.61% for the year ended December 31, 1995 over
the same period in 1994. The increase resulted from a $1.8 million increase in
interest income offset by a $1.3 million increase in interest expense. The
increase in interest income is due primarily to an increase in average earning
assets of $13.4 million or 10.91% for the year ended December 31, 1995, over the
same period in 1994. Although loans and investments continued to increase during
the year of 1995, new deposits at prevailing interest rates limited the increase
in the net interest income. Interest expense increased due to both volume and
rate for the comparable periods in 1995 over 1994. Average interest-bearing
liabilities increased $11.5 million or 10.91% for the year ended December 31,
1995, compared to the same period in 1994. The weighted average yields earned
were 8.75% and 8.28% for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. Average yields earned increased 47 basis points or 5.68% for the
year ended December 31, 1995 compared to the same period in 1994. Average rates
paid were 3.79% and 2.98% for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. This represents an increase of 81 basis points or 27.18% for the
year ended December 31, 1995, compared to 1994.
PROVISION FOR LOAN LOSSES. The loan loss provision decreased during the
year ended December 31, 1995, to $160,000 as compared to $200,000 for the same
period in 1994. Net charge-offs during the years were $114,000 and $92,000 for
1995 and 1994, respectively. The loan loss provision decreased between 1994 and
1995 as a result of an improvement in the local economy and the quality of the
loan portfolio.
Management believes the loan loss provision maintains the reserve for loan
losses at an appropriate level. The reserve for loan losses was $1,063,000 at
December 31, 1995, as compared to $1,017,000 at December 31, 1994. The Bank's
ratio of reserve for loan losses to total loans was 1.32% at December 31, 1995,
compared to 1.35% at December 31, 1994.
Non-performing assets (defined as loans 90 days or more past due, and other
real estate owned) were $467,000 and $64,000 at December 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively. The increase in non-performing assets is attributable to a small
number of non-performing loans secured by single family residential real estate.
Management believes the loans are adequately secured and that no significant
losses will be incurred. Management does not believe that the increase
represents a deterioration of the credit quality of the loan portfolio or an
indication of future credit problems.
NON-INTEREST INCOME. Non-interest income increased 14.43% for the year
ended December 31, 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994. Gains on sales
of investment securities available for sale of $13,000 in 1995 compared to
losses of $168,000 in 1994, accounted for more than 60% of the increase in
non-interest income. The other significant portion of the increase in
non-interest income was a result of increased income from service charges on
deposit accounts which were $910,000 in 1995, compared to $847,000 in 1994, a
7.42% increase. Mortgage loan originations were $32.1 million in the year ended
December 31, 1995, up from $20.1 million for the same period in 1994. Loans sold
were $30.9 million and $22.5 million for the years ended December 31, 1995 and
1994, respectively, generating $611,000 and $628,000 of fee income during each
respective period, a decrease of 2.7% from 1994 to 1995. A strong refinance
market supported mortgage origination activity.
NON-INTEREST EXPENSE. Non-interest expense increased 11.42% for the year
ended December 31, 1995, as compared to year ended December 31, 1994. The
primary non-interest expenses are salaries and employee benefits, and expenses
relating to occupancy and equipment.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES. The provision for income taxes decreased 16.93%
for the year ended December 31, 1995 as compared to the same period in 1994.
This was the result of an over-payment of taxes in 1994.

LOAN LOSSES AND RECOVERIES
The provision for loan losses charged to operating expense is based on the
Bank's loan loss experience and such factors which, in management's judgment,
deserve recognition in estimating possible loan losses. Management monitors the
loan portfolio to ensure that the reserve for loan losses is adequate to cover
outstanding loans on non-accrual status and any current loans deemed to be in
serious doubt of repayment according to each loan's repayment plan. The
following table summarizes the Bank's reserve for loan losses, and charge-off
and recovery activity:

LENDING AND CREDIT MANAGEMENT
Although a risk of nonpayment exists with respect to all loans, certain
specific types of risks are associated with different types of loans. Due to the
nature of the Bank's customer base and the growth experienced in Coos and Curry
Counties, real estate is frequently a material component of collateral for the
Bank's loans. The expected source of repayment of these loans is generally the
operations of the borrower's business or personal income, but real estate
provides an additional measure of security. Risks associated with real estate
loans include fluctuating land values, local economic conditions, changes in tax
policies, and a concentration of loans within a limited geographic market area.
The Bank mitigates risk on construction loans by generally lending funds to
customers that have been pre-qualified for long term financing and who are using
contractors acceptable to the Bank. The commercial real estate risk is further
mitigated by making the majority of commercial real estate loans on
owner-occupied properties.
The Bank manages the general risks inherent in the loan portfolio by
following loan policies and underwriting practices designed to result in prudent
lending activities. For example, the Bank limits commercial loans to 70% of the
value of the collateral, and residential mortgages, which may be first or second
liens, to 80% of the value of the collateral.

ALLOCATION OF RESERVE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The Bank does not normally allocate the reserve for loan losses to specific
loan categories with the exception of credit cards. An allocation by credit
quality is made below for presentation purposes. This allocation process does
not necessarily measure anticipated future credit losses; rather, it seeks to
measure the Bank's assessment at a point in time of perceived credit loss
exposure and the impact of current and anticipated economic conditions.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
As shown in the table above, total assets have continued to grow in 1996 as
compared to the prior periods. Assets have grown 4.84% at March 31, 1996,
compared to December 31, 1995, and 8.94% from December 31, 1994 to December 31,
1995. The growth in 1996 is the result of increased deposits which were invested
in investment securities. The growth in both 1995 and 1994 was primarily the
result of loan demand, as the southern Oregon coast's growth and economic
factors continue to be favorable. The ratio of gross loans and leases to
deposits decreased to 63.09% at March 31, 1996, compared to 66.22% at December
31, 1995, and 63.70% at December 31, 1994.
The growth in interest-earning assets has been predominantly in loans and
investment securities. Net loans increased $7.1 million at December 31, 1995,
over the same period in 1994, and decreased $251,000 from December 31, 1995, to
March 31, 1996. The lower, more stable interest rate environment of the last two
years and a stronger, more stable local economy have been major contributors to
the increased activity for the year ended December 31, 1995. The modest decline
in net loans at March 31, 1996, from December 31, 1995, is attributable to a
rise in interest rates which slowed loan activity. Investment securities
increased $4.4 million as of December 31, 1995, as compared to the same period
in 1994 and an additional $11.5 million as of March 31, 1996, due to the
continued growth in deposit funds available for investment. Federal funds sold,
reflecting short term (over-night) investments, increased at the comparable
period-end time frames. The level of federal funds sold fluctuates daily
relative to loan demand, deposit fluctuations and investment activity, and
provides a source of liquidity for the Bank.
Deposit growth continued for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, and
for the three months ended March 31, 1996. Total deposits increased $5.9 million
at March 31, 1996, compared to December 31, 1995, and $6.2 million at December
31, 1995, compared to December 31, 1994. The growth in 1996 and 1995 has been
predominantly in interest-bearing deposits. The ratio of interest-bearing
deposits to total deposits decreased slightly from 84.8% at December 31, 1994,
to 84.3% at December 31, 1995, and was 85.7% at March 31, 1996.

The Bank is a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank of Seattle. This
membership allows the Bank access to low cost, long-term funding otherwise
unavailable. The Bank has utilized this funding, and in 1995 borrowed $2.7
million to support loan and investment growth. In the three months ended March
31, 1996, the Bank has borrowed an additional $2.2 million, leaving the balance
at $13.7 million as of March 31, 1996.
LIQUIDITY
Liquidity enables the Bank to meet the withdrawals of its depositors and the
borrowing needs of its loan customers. The Bank maintains its liquidity position
through maintenance of cash resources and a stable core deposit base. A further
source of liquidity is the Bank's ability to borrow funds. The Bank maintains
three unsecured lines of credit totaling $10.0 million for the purchase of funds
on an overnight basis. The Bank is also a member of the Federal Home Loan Bank
which provides a secured line of credit in the amount of $24.9 million, and
other funding opportunities for liquidity and asset/ liability matching. Over
the past three years these lines have been used periodically. As of March 31,
1996, no amounts were borrowed under the Bank's unsecured lines of credit and
$13.7 million were borrowed from the Federal Home Loan Bank. Interest rates
charged on the lines are determined by market factors.
The Bank's liquidity has been stable and adequate over the past three years.
Short-term deposits have continued to grow and excess investible cash is loaned
on a short term basis (federal funds sold). The Bank's primary source of funds
is consumer deposits and commercial accounts. These funds are not subject to
significant movements as a result of changing interest rates and other economic
factors, and therefore enhance the Bank's long term liquidity.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
Beginning in 1990, federal regulators required the calculation of Risk-based
Capital. This is an analysis that weights balance sheet and off-balance sheet
items for their inherent risk. It requires minimum standards for Risk-based
Capital by Capital Tier. Full implementation of this analysis was required in
1992, requiring a minimum total Risk-based Capital ratio of 8.00% and a minimum
Tier 1 Capital Ratio of 4.00%. At March 31, 1996, Security Bank had a Risk-based
Capital Ratio of 13.63% and Tier 1 Capital Ratio of 12.58%. This was compared to
13.36% and 12.36% for total Risk-Based Capital and Tier 1 Capital, respectively,
at December 31, 1995, and 12.10% and 11.11% for total Risk-Based Capital and
Tier 1 Capital, respectively, at December 31, 1994. If the Bank were fully
leveraged, further growth would be restricted to the level attainable through
generation and retention of net income unless the Bank were to seek additional
capital from outside sources.
INTEREST SENSITIVITY
Interest sensitivity relates to the effect of changing interest rates on net
interest income. Interest-earning assets which have interest rates tied to an
index, such as prime rate, or which mature in relatively short periods of time
are considered interest-rate sensitive. Interest-bearing liabilities with
interest rates that can be re-priced in a discretionary manner, or which mature
in short periods of time, are also considered interest-rate sensitive. The
differences between the amounts of interest-sensitive assets and
interest-sensitive liabilities, measured at various time periods, are referred
to as sensitivity gaps. As rates change, these gaps will cause either a
beneficial or adverse effect on net interest income. A negative gap represents a
beneficial effect on net interest income if rates were to fall and an adverse
effect if rates were to rise. Conversely, a positive gap would have a beneficial
effect on net interest income in a rising rate environment and a negative effect
if rates fell.
At March 31, 1996, rate sensitive liabilities maturing or available for
repricing within a one-year period of time approximated rate sensitive assets.
Due to the uncertainty of changing interest rates, the Bank's strategy is to
manage a majority of its interest-earning assets and interest-bearing deposits
to mature or reprice within one year and strive for as close to a balanced gap
as is feasible. Management considers a fluctuation between a 10.0% positive gap
and a 10.0% negative gap within one year to be a controlled gap position. The
25
<PAGE>
Bank's liability sensitivity within one year has been favorable because interest
rates have generally declined in recent periods. In the event interest rates
rise, the Bank's strategy is to increase its asset sensitivity predominantly
through variable asset pricing.

INFLATION
The primary impact of inflation on the Company's operations is increased
asset yields, deposit costs and operating overhead. Unlike most industrial
companies, virtually all of the assets and liabilities of a financial
institution are monetary in nature. As a result, interest rates generally have a
more significant impact on a financial institution's performance than the
effects of general levels of inflation. Although interest rates do not
necessarily move in the same direction or to the same extent as the prices of
goods and services, increases in inflation generally have resulted in increased
interest rates. The effects of inflation can magnify the growth of assets, and
if significant, would require that equity capital increase at a faster rate than
would otherwise be necessary.

LOAN PORTFOLIO
Interest earned on the loan portfolio is the primary source of income for
the Bank. Net loans represented 48% of total assets as of March 31, 1996.
Although the Bank strives to serve the credit needs of its service area, its
primary focus is on real estate and commercial loans. The Bank makes
substantially all of its loans to customers located within the Bank's service
areas. The Bank has no loans defined as highly leveraged transactions by the
Federal Reserve Bank. The Bank has no significant agricultural loans. Commercial
real estate loans include owner-occupied commercial properties occupied by the
proprietor of the business conducted on the premises, and income-producing or
farm properties. Other commercial loans include renewable operating lines of
credit, short-term
28
<PAGE>
notes, and equipment financing. Residential real estate loans include 1-4 family
owner- or non-owner occupied residences, multi-family units, construction and
secondary market loans pending sale. Installment loans consist of personal,
automobile or home equity loans. The Bank also offers credit cards to its
customers. The following table presents the composition of the Bank's loan
portfolio, at the dates indicated:

BUSINESS
COMPANY
The Company, incorporated in 1981, is a multi-bank holding company
registered under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. The administrative office
of the Company is located in Coos Bay, Oregon. The Company was organized as a
holding company for its principal banking subsidiary, Security Bank, a state
chartered, FDIC insured commercial bank, through a reorganization completed in
April, 1983. The Company conducts its business primarily through Security Bank,
but has recently embarked on a strategy to diversify through investment in
banking operations outside of Security Bank's primary market area through
wholly- and majority-owned subsidiaries. As part of that strategy, the Company
recently completed the acquisition of a controlling interest in Lincoln Security
Bank, a newly-organized state-chartered commercial bank located in Newport,
Oregon.
As a result of the successful operations of Security Bank, the Company's
return on equity has exceeded 15% for the past two years and return on average
assets was 1.26% in 1995 and 1.25% in 1994. At March 31, 1996, total assets were
$166.3 million, total loans were $77.1 million and deposits were $133.2 million.
SECURITY BANK
Security Bank operated as a single office in Myrtle Point, Oregon, from its
founding in 1919 until 1971, when the Coquille branch was opened. The bank's
Bandon Branch was opened in 1974. In 1977, Security Bank's fourth branch was
opened in the Bunker Hill area of Coos Bay, and in 1983, the bank merged with
Citizens Bank of North Bend, acquiring its fifth branch in North Bend. In 1985,
the sixth branch was opened as result of the purchase of the office and
assumption of the deposits of a failed institution in the Brookings-Harbor
community in Curry County. Also in 1985, Security Bank moved its headquarters to
downtown Coos Bay and opened its Coos Bay Mall branch. Security Financial
Insurance Agency, a subsidiary of Security Bank organized in 1987, acts as an
insurance agent selling annuities, whole life insurance, and health care
insurance. The Insurance Agency operates from a single office near the head
office of Security Bank. Its services are available to customers at all of
Security Bank's branches. Security Bank also operates a separate mortgage loan
business with an office in Coos Bay, and an office in Eugene, Oregon, opened in
1995.
Security Bank operates in a competitive market which has undergone
significant economic and demographic changes in the past two decades. During the
period 1979 to 1987, Coos and Curry Counties suffered the loss of large numbers
of jobs in the forest products industry. The employment losses led to a 10%
population decline in Coos County from 1980 to 1987. This loss of manufacturing
workers and their families, together with an influx of retirees as a result of
the attractiveness of the southern Oregon coast as a retirement location, has
led to a significant increase in the portion of the population age 65 and older.
The population over age 65 increased by one-third from 1980 to 1990 to 17% of
Coos County's total population, and increased by almost two-thirds to 25% of
Curry County's total population. Curry County has the highest percentage of
residents over age 65 of any Oregon county. At the same time the economy has
shifted to a more diverse base of activity, including a greater role for small
businesses.
The most direct competition faced by Security Bank comes from four large
commercial banks. With the recent acquisition of Western Bank by Washington
Mutual Bank, Security Bank has no community bank competitors, but continues to
compete with multi-state, multi-billion dollar asset institutions. To meet this
competition, Security Bank targets its marketing efforts on individuals and
small businesses who prefer personalized banking services, and is developing
products and services intended to meet the banking needs of people who are age
55 or over.
Security Bank has competed effectively in its current market areas. In Coos
County, Security Bank's principal market area, Security Bank held approximately
$109 million in individual, partnership and corporate deposits as of June 30,
1995, representing 18.63% of such deposits held by commercial bank, savings and
loan association and credit union offices located in the county, up from
33
<PAGE>
13.76% in 1990. In Curry County, Security Bank held approximately $12 million in
individual, partnership and corporate deposits as of June 30, 1995, representing
5.20% of such deposits held by commercial banking and savings association
offices located in the county, up from 3.88% in 1990.
LINCOLN SECURITY BANK
Lincoln Security Bank is a newly-organized Oregon state-chartered bank, the
deposits of which are insured by the FDIC. Lincoln Security was organized by a
group of business and professional individuals in the Lincoln County area as a
locally owned commercial bank serving the needs of the city of Newport and
Lincoln County, Oregon. Lincoln Security's principal office is located at 1250
North Coast Highway in Newport, Oregon. The bank commenced operations on May 30,
1996, and currently operates in a temporary office facility pending construction
of its permanent office. Lincoln Security engages in a general commercial
banking business in Lincoln County and offers commercial banking services to
small and medium size businesses, professionals and retail customers in the
bank's market area.
The Company facilitated the organization of Lincoln Security by purchasing
210,390 shares of Lincoln Security's Class B common stock, representing
approximately 70.13% of all outstanding common shares of Lincoln Security Bank
common stock, with the remainder of the outstanding common stock held by local
investors in the bank's Class A common stock. The shares of Class A and Class B
common stock are identical in all respects, except that the Class A and Class B
common stock vote as separate classes in the election of directors with the
Class B shares being entitled to vote for a number of directors constituting a
mere majority of the directors, and the Class A shares being entitled to vote
for the balance of the directors. Pursuant to a shareholders agreement, the
Class A common shareholders, under certain circumstances, have the right to
purchase all of the Class B common stock of Lincoln Security owned by Security
Bank Holding Company, after five years but before 10 years following the date of
Lincoln Security's charter. Conversely, the Company has the right under certain
circumstances to acquire all of the then outstanding shares of Lincoln Security
Class A common stock. If the Company were to acquire the Class A common stock in
an exchange for newly issued securities of the Company, such a transaction would
likely cause little or no dilution to existing shareholders of the Company. The
Company does not expect to receive dividends on its shares of Class B common
stock for the foreseeable future, as any earnings of the bank are expected to be
retained to fund further growth of the bank.
As a result of the ownership of a majority of Lincoln Security's outstanding
common stock, the Company will be able to control any corporate decisions
requiring approval of Lincoln Security shareholders. At this time, Mr. Brummel,
President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Kenneth Messerle, a
director of the Company, are serving on the Board of Directors of Lincoln
Security, with balance of the Board of Directors being Lincoln County residents.
The Company believes that, like Security Bank, the success of the bank depends
on being identified as a local bank that knows and understands the needs of the
community it serves. Accordingly, the Company believes it is important that
Lincoln Security have a majority of its board members from the local community
who are familiar with Lincoln County and are known by the potential customers
which the bank seeks to attract. Accordingly, the presence of local
shareholders, and the appointment of predominantly local, Lincoln County
directors, are expected to help ensure that Lincoln Security Bank will have the
same community commitment and ties that distinguish Security Bank from its
larger statewide competitors. Although initially the Company has only two
representatives on the bank's board of directors, the Company expects to
continue to influence major decisions made by the board. Further, it is
anticipated that the bank's management will look to the Company and Security
Bank for guidance in managing the administrative affairs of the bank.
Nonetheless, the Company expects to rely on Lincoln Security officers to oversee
day-to-day operations of the bank without significant involvement of the
Company.

<PAGE>
BUSINESS STRATEGY
The Company seeks to achieve growth in its earning assets, while maintaining
a strong return on equity. The strategy for accomplishing those goals is based
upon:
- Personalized Customer Service
- Development of Innovative Products
- Expanding into new Geographic Markets
PERSONALIZED CUSTOMER SERVICE. The Banks pride themselves on being
community banks serving the central and southern Oregon coast. The Banks'
personnel are primarily long-time residents, with many years of banking
experience in their communities. In an era when larger competitors are
minimizing personnel expenses through the use of part-time tellers, centralized
loan centers, and electronic technology, the Banks remain committed to serving
customers through personal service: loan officers and other employees who know
and are known by their customers. From the Boards of Directors, who are all
residents and active members of their respective communities, to branch tellers,
service and accessibility are emphasized. To enhance customer service, Security
Bank provides "platform banking," which gives employees computer access to
customer records and allows them to respond to inquiries efficiently.
To promote employee commitment to customer service, the Company maintains an
Employee Stock Ownership Plan in which all employees other than those of Lincoln
Security are eligible to participate. The Plan enables employees to become
shareholders of the Company and share a common interest with other shareholders.
Thus, employees' efforts to improve the Company's performance provide an
economic benefit to them through potential increases in the value of their share
ownership. The Company also has established a stock option plan for senior
management personnel. See "Management -- Other Benefit Plans."
INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS. The Company seeks to increase market share through
innovative products oriented to the needs of potential customers. As Lincoln
Security is still in the initial stages of business development, and therefore
is concentrating on basic services, these innovative products are currently
being marketed by Security Bank. Security Bank provides, for the population over
age fifty-five, specially designed deposit and insurance products, such as
tax-deferred annuities and a certificate of deposit which features a waiver of
early withdrawal penalties in the event the funds are needed for health care
expenses. To provide services which Security Bank does not provide directly, the
bank partners with other organizations, exemplified by its arrangement with the
Bank of California to provide trust services. Security Bank provides electronic
banking services for those who desire it, and offers a telephone banking system
which allows customers to access their account information and obtain
information about bank services by telephone, 24-hours a day. During banking
hours, however, employees answer customer telephone calls to maintain personal
contact rather than relying upon computerized answering services. Security Bank
also offers bank cards, allowing customers worldwide bank ATM network access.
GEOGRAPHIC MARKET EXPANSION. The Company is acting to diversify and expand
its asset base by moving outside of its traditional market areas without losing
the personal service and community focus which differentiate it from its
competitors. For example, Security Bank has recently opened a mortgage loan
office in Eugene, Oregon, and expects to open offices in other communities in
Oregon in the future. Specific plans for new offices have not been formulated,
and it is not known when, if any, such new offices may be opened.
Prior to the organization of Lincoln Security, the Company had considered
expanding its market geographically through acquisitions or the opening of
branch offices in coastal communities north of its existing market area. The
Company believed, and continues to believe, however, that retaining a community
bank identity is crucial to Security Bank's and the Company's success, and that
branching beyond the existing market would pose some risk to Security Bank's
image as a local bank. The
35
<PAGE>
Company believed that organizing a new community bank in cooperation with local
business people provided the opportunity for expansion while retaining the
benefits of being identified as a local community bank.
The Company's investment in Lincoln Security Bank is a unique approach to
partner with investors in a new market area, and reflects the Company's
commitment to geographic market expansion. Management believes that the Lincoln
Security Bank investment, if successful, can be a model for investments in other
community banks. The Company is not actively pursuing any other similar
investments or acquisitions of other banks, nor does the Company seek to merge
with any other bank holding companies. However, the Company will consider other
opportunities as they come available.
ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND DEMOGRAPHICS
The Banks primarily receive deposits and make loans in Coos, Curry and
Lincoln Counties of Oregon. As community banks, the Banks have certain
competitive advantages in their local focus, but the Banks are also more closely
tied to their respective local economies than competitors who serve a number of
geographic markets.
COOS AND CURRY COUNTIES
Coos County had a 1993 population of approximately 62,500, while the
population of Curry County was approximately 21,300. About half of the
population of each county is in an urbanized area, the Coos Bay -- North Bend
area in Coos County and the Brookings-Harbor area in Curry County.
The economies of Coos and Curry Counties depend particularly on forest
products, fishing, agriculture and tourism. One of the major features of
economic developments in both counties over the past 15 years has been the
reduction in employment in the forest products industry and the effects on the
local economy. Approximately three-quarters of the land in the two counties is
commercial timberland, with 65% being privately owned in Coos County and 40% in
Curry County. The balance is federal and state forests.
During the period 1979 to 1982, Coos County experienced a 17% decline in the
number of wage and salary jobs, with half of that decline occurring in the
forest products industry. The decline in forest products employment produced
high levels of unemployment and a decline in population. In the late 1980's and
into the 1990's, the population began growing again, and was up 3% from 1990 to
1992. Curry County, while also suffering high unemployment, has recovered, and
is growing at faster rate. The population of Curry County grew 10.5% between
1990 and 1992. Although much improved from the highest levels of the early
1980's, unemployment remains above Oregon and U.S. averages in both counties.
A significant change in the makeup of the population in the two counties has
occurred with the emigration of working families and the immigration of
retirees, particularly into Curry County. With these population shifts, a high
percentage of personal income comes from sources other than net earnings, 54.6%
in Curry County and 43.6% in Coos County in 1992, the latest data available.
The result of these employment and population changes is a shift to an
economic base which is more stable and less dependent on the forest products
industry. The industry remains an important employment source, but no longer
dominates the economy. By the end of 1993, five times as many persons were
employed in non-manufacturing, non-farm jobs as compared to manufacturing.
Retail trade, government and services are the largest employment segments in
both counties. Tourism has become increasingly important to both counties.
Agriculture, although a small industry in terms of employment, remains a
significant economic factor. Cranberries and nursery stock are major crops in
Coos County, while southern Curry County is part of the largest lily bulb
growing area of the U.S. The fishing industry in Coos County, although still
important, has contracted significantly since 1980, particularly due to
reductions in salmon fishing.
36
<PAGE>
LINCOLN COUNTY
Lincoln County, the market served by Lincoln Security Bank, is located on
the central Oregon coast and its economy is dependent primarily on the forest
products and fishing industries, tourism and service businesses. Over the past
several years, forest products activity has significantly decreased and some
segments of the fisheries industry have experienced significant declines.
However, Lincoln County is less dependent than Coos or Curry Counties upon
forest products manufacturing. Unemployment rates in Lincoln County have closely
paralleled those of Oregon as a whole, in contrast with Coos and Curry Counties
where they have been significantly higher. Offsetting the decrease in forest
products and fisheries, tourism has emerged as a major industry for the county.
Lincoln County's relative proximity to the population centers of Portland and
the Willamette Valley of Oregon has continued to make it a popular weekend
vacation spot and retirement area. Lincoln County has also embarked on a program
to promote diversification of its economic base through a state-sponsored "Key
Industry Initiative" whereby each county selects three key industries to target
for expansion of employment prospects in return for financial and other forms of
state assistance. Lincoln County has selected software and high technology,
government contract work in research and development, and professional services
as its target industries. Total population of Lincoln County has increased from
35,350 in 1980 to 39,690 in 1992, approximately a 12% increase. This modest
increase belies the changing composition of the job market and economic base in
the county which has shifted markedly during this period. The State of Oregon
Employment Division forecasts population for Lincoln County of approximately
47,500 by the year 2000, assuming the absence of major economic recessions which
might have a negative impact on employment and population growth. As with Coos
and Curry Counties, a significant portion of the Lincoln County population is
over age 65.
COMPETITION
The geographic areas of Oregon served by the Banks are highly competitive
with respect to both deposits and loans. The Banks compete principally with
commercial banks, savings and loan associations, credit unions, mortgage
companies, and other financial institutions. The major commercial bank
competitors are state-wide institutions which are among the largest
Oregon-headquartered commercial and savings banks, and their deposits represent
59.6% of statewide commercial and savings bank deposits as of December 31, 1995.
Each of these competitors is owned by multi-state, multi-billion dollar holding
companies. These banks have the advantages of offering their customers services
and state-wide banking facilities that the Banks do not offer.
The Banks' primary competition for deposits comes from commercial banks, a
savings and loan association, credit unions, and money market funds, some of
which may offer higher rates than the Banks. Secondary competition for funds
comes from issuers of corporate and government securities, insurance companies,
mutual funds, and other financial intermediaries. Other than with respect to
large certificates of deposit, the Banks compete for deposits by offering a
variety of deposit accounts at rates generally competitive with similar
financial institutions in the area.
The Banks' competition for loans comes principally from commercial banks,
savings and loan associations, mortgage companies, finance companies, insurance
companies, and other institutional lenders. Many of the Banks' competitors have
substantially higher lending limits than those of the Banks, individually or in
the aggregate. The Banks compete for loan origination through the level of
interest rates and loan fees charged, the variety of commercial and mortgage
loan products, and the efficiency and quality of services provided to borrowers.
Lending activity can also be affected by the availability of lendable funds,
local and national economic conditions, current interest rate levels, and loan
demand. As described above, the Banks compete with their larger commercial bank
competitors by emphasizing their community bank orientation and efficient
personal service to local customers, particularly local lending. See "Business
- -- Business Strategy."
Lincoln County presents a particularly competitive market. Although Lincoln
County is currently served by seven commercial banks, two thrifts and one credit
union, many of which offer more services and products than offered by Lincoln
Security, only one of the commercial banks has its head office in
37
<PAGE>
Lincoln County and it is owned by a holding company headquartered in the
Portland metropolitan area. Further, in 1994, a second community bank with its
head office in Newport was acquired by a large multi-state bank holding company.
A third community bank previously headquartered in Newport was acquired by a
multi-state holding company in 1990. It is believed that the loss of these local
community banks presents increased opportunities for a new community bank to
compete effectively for business in this market area.

SUPERVISION AND REGULATION
GENERAL
The Company and the Banks are extensively regulated under federal and state
law. These laws and regulations are intended to protect depositors, not
shareholders. To the extent that the following information describes statutory
or regulatory provisions, it is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
particular statutory or regulatory provisions. Any change in applicable laws or
regulations may have a material effect on the business and prospects of the
Company and the Banks. The operations of the Company and the Banks may be
affected by legislative changes and by the policies of various regulatory
authorities. The Company is unable to predict the nature or the extent of the
effects on its business and earnings that fiscal or monetary policies, economic
control or new federal or state legislation may have in the future.
FEDERAL BANK HOLDING COMPANY REGULATION
The Company is a bank holding company within the meaning of the Bank Holding
Company Act ("BHCA"), and as such, it is subject to regulation, supervision and
examination by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("Federal
Reserve"). The Company is required to file annual reports with the Federal
Reserve and to provide the Federal Reserve such additional information as the
Federal Reserve may require.
BHCA requires every bank holding company to obtain the prior approval of the
Federal Reserve before (i) acquiring, directly or indirectly, ownership or
control of any voting shares of another bank or bank holding company it, after
such acquisition, would own or control more than 5% of such shares (unless it
already owns or controls the majority of such shares); (ii) acquiring all or
substantially all of the assets of another bank or bank holding company; or
(iii) merging or consolidating with another bank holding company. The Federal
Reserve will not approve any acquisition, merger or consolidation that would
have a substantial anti-competitive result, unless the anti-competitive effects
of the proposed transaction are clearly outweighed by a greater public interest
in meeting the convenience and needs of the community to be served. The Federal
Reserve also considers capital adequacy and other financial and managerial
factors in reviewing acquisitions or mergers.
With certain exceptions, BHCA also prohibits a bank holding company from
acquiring or retaining direct or indirect ownership or control of more than 5%
of the voting shares of any company which is not a bank or bank holding company,
or from engaging directly or indirectly in activities other than those of
banking, managing or controlling banks, or providing services for its
subsidiaries. The principal exceptions to these prohibitions involve certain
non-bank activities which, by statute or by Federal Reserve regulation or order,
have been identified as activities closely related to the business of banking or
of managing or controlling banks. In making this determination, the Federal
Reserve considers whether the performance of such activities by a bank holding
company can be expected to produce benefits to the public such as greater
convenience, increased competition or gains in efficiency in resources, which
can be expected to outweigh the risks of possible adverse effects such as
decreased or unfair competition, conflicts of interest or unsound banking
practices. The Bank's data processing and insurance subsidiaries are non-bank
companies engaged in activities deemed permissible by the Federal Reserve.
Subsidiary banks of a bank holding company are subject to certain
restrictions imposed by the Federal Reserve Act on extensions of credit to the
bank holding company or its subsidiaries, on investments in their securities and
on the use of their securities as collateral for loans to any borrower. These
regulations and restrictions may limit the Company's ability to obtain funds
from the Banks for its cash needs, including funds for payment of dividends,
interest and operating expenses. Further, under the Federal Reserve Act and
certain regulations of the Federal Reserve, a bank holding company and its
subsidiaries are prohibited from engaging in certain typing arrangements in
connection with any extension of credit, lease or sale of property or furnishing
of services. For example, the Bank
39
<PAGE>
may not generally require a customer to obtain other services from the Bank or
the Company, and may not require that the customer promise not to obtain other
services from a competitor, as a condition to an extension of credit to the
customer.
FEDERAL AND STATE BANK REGULATION
The Banks, as state-chartered banks with deposits insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") that are not members of the Federal
Reserve System, are subject to the supervision and regulation of the Director of
the Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services, administrated through
the Division of Finance and Corporate Securities ("Oregon Director"), and to the
supervision and regulation of the FDIC. These agencies may prohibit the Banks
from engaging in what they believe constitute unsafe or unsound banking
practices.
As of July 1, 1989, Oregon permits out-of-state banking institutions to
acquire banks or holding companies that have been in existence for a period of
no fewer than three years. Generally, such acquisitions are subject to the
approval of the Federal Reserve Board and the Oregon Director. As a result of
1993 Oregon legislation and 1995 federal law changes, Oregon banks may merge
with out-of-state national or state banks, and out-of-state national and state
banks may acquire Oregon branches or may merger with or acquire branches of
Oregon or federal savings associations. Initial acquisitions must involve
institutions which been engaged in banking in Oregon for at least three years,
but once such an acquisition is made, the resulting bank may add additional
branches.
The Community Reinvestment Act ("CRA") requires that, in connection with
examinations of financial institutions within their jurisdiction, the Federal
Reserve or the FDIC evaluates the record of the financial institutions in
meeting the credit needs of their local communities, including low and moderate
income neighborhoods, consistent with the safe and sound operation of those
banks. These factors are also considered in evaluating mergers, acquisitions and
applications to open a branch or facility. Security Bank's current CRA rating is
"Outstanding," the highest rating awarded. Lincoln Security has not yet been
subjected to a CRA examination.
The Banks are also subject to certain restrictions imposed by the Federal
Reserve Act on extensions of credit to executive officers, directors, principal
shareholders or any related interest of such persons. Extensions of credit (i)
must be made on substantially the same terms, including interest rates and
collateral as, and following credit underwriting procedures that are not less
stringent than, those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions with
persons not covered above and who are not employees, and (ii) must not involve
more than the normal risk of repayment or present other unfavorable features.
The Banks are also subject to certain lending limits and restrictions on
overdrafts to such persons. A violation of these restrictions may result in the
assessment of substantial civil monetary penalties on the affected bank or any
officer, director, employee, agent or other person participating in the conduct
of the affairs of that bank, the imposition of a cease and desist order, and
other regulatory sanctions.
Under the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act ("FDICIA"),
each Federal banking agency is required to prescribe, by regulation, non-capital
safety and soundness standards for institutions under its authority. These
standards are to cover internal controls, information systems and internal audit
systems, loan documentation, credit underwriting, interest rate exposure, asset
growth, compensation, fees and benefits, such other operational and managerial
standards as the agency determines to be appropriate, and standards for asset
quality, earnings and stock valuation. An institution which fails to meet these
standards must develop a plan acceptable to the agency, specifying the steps
that the institution will take to meet the standards. Failure to submit or
implement such a plan may subject the institution to regulatory sanctions. The
Company believes that the Banks meet all the standards, and therefore does not
believe that these regulatory standards materially affect the Company's business
operations.
40
<PAGE>
DEPOSIT INSURANCE
As FDIC member institutions, the deposits of the Banks are currently insured
to a maximum of $100,000 per depositor through the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF"),
administered by the FDIC. The Banks are required to pay semiannual deposit
insurance premium assessments to the FDIC.
The FDICIA includes provisions to reform the Federal deposit insurance
system, including the implementation of risk-based deposit insurance premiums.
The FDICIA also permits the FDIC to make special assessments on insured
depository institutions in amounts determined by the FDIC to be necessary to
give it adequate assessment income to repay amounts borrowed from the U.S.
Treasury and other sources or for any other purpose the FDIC deems necessary.
Pursuant to the FDICIA, the FDIC implemented a transitional risk based insurance
premium system on January 1, 1993. Generally, under this system, banks are
assessed insurance premiums according to how much risk they are deemed to
present to BIF. Banks with higher levels of capital and a low degree of
supervisory concern are assessed lower premiums than banks with lower levels of
capital or involving a higher degree of supervisory concern. The Banks each have
a current FDIC premium rate of $.00 per $100 of domestic deposits. The premium
range is from $.00, for the highest-rated institutions (subject to a statutory
minimum assessment of $2,000) to $.27 per $100 of domestic deposits.
DIVIDENDS
The principal source of the Company's cash revenues is dividends received
from Security Bank. Lincoln Security Bank does not currently pay dividends and
is not expected to in the near future, as earnings will be retained to fund
future growth. Under the Oregon Bank Act, the Banks are subject to restrictions
on its payment of cash dividends to the Company. A bank may not pay cash
dividends if that payment would reduce the amount of its capital below that
necessary to meet minimum applicable regulatory capital requirements. In
addition, the amount of the dividend may not be greater than its net undivided
profits then on hand, after first deducting (i) all losses; (ii) all bad debts,
unless the debts are well-secured, (a) on which interest for a period of one
year is past due and unpaid, and (b) upon which final judgment has been
obtained, but for more than one year the judgment has been unsatisfied and
interest has not been paid; (iii) all assets or depreciation charged off as
required by the Oregon Director; and (iv) all accrued expenses, interest and
taxes of the bank. Lincoln Security is not able to pay dividends as a result of
the lack of retained earnings. It is not known if or when Lincoln Security would
be able to pay such dividends.
In addition, the appropriate regulatory authorities are authorized to
prohibit banks and bank holding companies from paying dividends which would
constitute an unsafe or unsound banking practice. The Banks and the Company are
not currently subject to any regulatory restrictions on their dividends other
than those noted above.
CAPITAL ADEQUACY
The federal bank regulatory agencies use capital adequacy guidelines in
their examination and regulation of bank holding companies and banks. If the
capital falls below the minimum levels established by these guidelines, the bank
holding company or bank may be denied approval to acquire or establish
additional banks or non-bank businesses or to open facilities.
The FDIC and Federal Reserve have adopted risk-based capital guidelines for
banks and bank holding companies. The risk-based capital guidelines are designed
to make regulatory capital requirements more sensitive to differences in risk
profile among banks and bank holding companies, to account for off-balance sheet
exposure and to minimize disincentives for holding liquid assets. Assets and
off-balance sheet items are assigned to broad risk categories, each with
appropriate weights. The resulting capital ratios represent capital as a
percentage of total risk-weighted assets and off-balance sheet items. The
guidelines are minimums, and the Federal Reserve has noted that bank holding
companies contemplating significant expansion programs should not allow
expansion to diminish their capital ratios and should maintain ratios well in
excess of the minimum. The current guidelines require all bank holding companies
and federally-regulated banks to maintain a minimum risk-based total capital
ratio equal to 8%, of which at least 4% must be Tier 1 capital.
41
<PAGE>
Tier 1 capital for bank holding companies includes common shareholders'
equity, qualifying perpetual preferred stock (up to 25% of total Tier 1 capital,
if cumulative; under a Federal Reserve rule, redeemable perpetual preferred
stock may not be counted as Tier 1 capital unless the redemption is subject to
the prior approval of the Federal Reserve) and minority interests in equity
accounts of consolidated subsidiaries, less intangibles except as described
above. Tier 2 capital includes: (i) the allowance for loan losses of up to 1.25%
of risk-weighted assets; (ii) any qualifying perpetual preferred stock which
exceeds the amount which may be included in Tier 1 capital; (iii) hybrid capital
instrument; (iv) perpetual debt; (v) mandatory convertible securities and (vi)
subordinated debt and intermediate term preferred stock of up to 50% of Tier 1
capital. Total capital is the sum of Tier 1 and Tier 2 capital less reciprocal
holdings of other banking organizations, capital instruments and investments in
unconsolidated subsidiaries.
Banks' and bank holding companies' assets are given risk-weights of 0%, 20%,
50%, and 100%. In addition, certain off-balance sheet items are given credit
conversion factors to convert them to asset equivalent amounts to which an
appropriate risk-weight will apply. These computations result in the total
risk-weighted assets.
Most loans are assigned to the 100% risk category, except for first mortgage
loans fully secured by residential property, which carry a 50% rating. Most
investment securities are assigned to the 20% category, except for municipal or
state revenue bonds, which have a 50% risk-weight, and direct obligations of or
obligations guaranteed by the United States Treasury or United States Government
agencies, which have 0% risk-weight. In converting off-balance sheet items,
direct credit substitutes, including general guarantees and standby letters of
credit backing financial obligations, are given 100% conversion factor. The
transaction related contingencies such as bid bonds, other standby letters of
credit and undrawn commitments, including commercial credit lines with an
initial maturity of more than one year, have a 50% conversion factor.
Short-term, self-liquidating trade contingencies are converted at 20%, and
short-term commitments have a 0% factor.
The Federal Reserve also has implemented a leverage ratio, which is Tier 1
capital as a percentage of total assets less intangibles, to be used as a
supplement to risk-based guidelines. The principal objective of the leverage
ratio is to place a constraint on the maximum degree to which a bank holding
company may leverage its equity capital base. The Federal Reserve requires a
minimum leverage ratio of 3%. However, for all but the most highly rated bank
holding companies and for bank holding companies seeking to expand, the Federal
Reserve expects an additional cushion of at least 1% to 2%. As of March 31,
1996, the Company was in compliance with applicable capital requirements, as
shown in the following tables:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
AMOUNT RATIO
-------------- ---------
<S> <C> <C>
RISK-BASED CAPITAL RATIOS
Tier 1 capital............................................................... $ 13,227,000 12.58%
(Minimum Tier 1 capital requirement: 4.00%)
Total capital................................................................ $ 14,323,000 13.63%
(Minimum total capital requirement: 8.00%)
LEVERAGE RATIO
Tier 1 capital............................................................... $ 13,227,000 8.22%
(Minimum leverage requirement: 3.00%)
</TABLE>
The FDICIA also created a new statutory framework of supervisory actions
indexed to the capital level of the individual institution. Under regulations
adopted by the FDIC, an institution is assigned to one of five capital
categories depending on its total risk-based capital ratio, Tier 1 risk-based
capital ratio, and leverage ratio, together with certain subjective factors.
Institutions which are deemed to be "undercapitalized" depending on the category
to which they are assigned are subject to certain mandatory supervisory
corrective actions. The Company does not anticipate that these regulations will
have any material effect on the Banks.

<PAGE>
EFFECTS OF GOVERNMENT MONETARY POLICY
The earnings and growth of the Banks, and their existing and future
activities, are affected not only by general economic conditions, but also by
the fiscal and monetary policies of the federal government, particularly the
Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve can and does implement national monetary
policy for such purposes as curbing inflation and combating recession, but its
open market operations in U.S. government securities, control of the discount
rate applicable to borrowings from the Federal Reserve, and establishment of
reserve requirements against certain deposits, influence growth of bank loans,
investments and deposits, and also affect interest rates charged on loans or
paid on deposits. The nature and impact of future changes in monetary policies
and their impact on the Company or the Banks cannot be predicted with certainty.
CHANGING REGULATORY STRUCTURE OF THE BANKING INDUSTRY
The laws and regulations affecting banks and bank holding companies are
currently undergoing significant changes. Bills are now pending or expected to
be introduced in the United States Congress that contain proposals for altering
the structure, regulation, and competitive relationships of the nation's
financial institutions. If enacted into law, these bills could have the effect
of increasing or decreasing the cost of doing business, limiting or expanding
permissible activities (including activities in the insurance and securities
fields), or affecting the competitive balance among banks, savings associations,
and other financial institutions. Some of these bills would reduce the extent of
federal deposit insurance, broaden the powers or the geographical range of
operations of bank holding companies, modify interstate branching restrictions
applicable to national banks, regulate bank involvement in derivative securities
activities, and realign the structure and jurisdiction of various financial
institution regulatory agencies. Whether or in what form any such legislation
may be adopted or the extent to which the business of the Company might be
affected thereby cannot be predicted with certainty.
Of particular note is legislation which has been recently been enacted by
Congress, as referred to above, permitting interstate banking and branching,
which would allow banks to expand nationwide through acquisition, consolidation
or merger. Under this law, an adequately capitalized bank holding company may
acquire banks in any state if permitted by state law. In addition, banks may
acquire branches of out-of-state banks through merger followed by conversion of
the acquired bank branches into branches of the resulting bank. Further, banks
may establish and operate branches in any state subject to the restrictions of
applicable state law. Under Oregon law, an out-of-state bank or bank holding
company may merge with or acquire an Oregon state-chartered bank or bank holding
company if the Oregon bank, or in the case of a bank holding company, the
subsidiary bank, has been in existence for a minimum of three years, and the law
of the state in which the acquiring bank in located permits such merger.

INCENTIVE CASH BONUS PLAN. The Board of Directors of the Bank believes that
an incentive bonus based on earnings motivates management to perform at the
highest levels. Management performance has a direct impact on the short-range
and long-range profitability and viability of the institution and an incentive
bonus promotes the retention of qualified management. Directors also believe
that compensation programs with incentive pay as a significant portion of
compensation allow base salaries to remain relatively constant, even during
highly profitable periods, thereby containing salary costs during any less
profitable periods. The management incentive bonus program is at the discretion
of the Board. Specific performance levels and awards are developed by the
Compensation Committee of the Board and approved annually by the Board of
Directors. For 1995, the plan provided incentives for the three executive
officers, Brummel, Delvin and Williams (Poole became an executive on December 1,
1995 and was therefore not eligible for the 1995 plan). The size of the total
incentive is determined by a formula based upon the earnings of the Bank with a
threshold level of return on equity of 9%. The three officers (Brummel, Delvin
and Williams) received 50%, 30% and 20% of this total respectively during the
course of the year.
PHANTOM STOCK DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN. As of January 1, 1996, Security
Bank established a deferred compensation plan for a select group of key
employees to provide for unfunded, non-qualified deferred compensation to assist
in attracting and retaining such key employees and to encourage such employees
to devote their best efforts to the business of the bank. An eligible employee
is permitted to defer up to 20% of that employee's base salary and 100% of any
cash bonus, and is required to defer not less than 2% of base salary and 20% of
any cash bonus. Deferred compensation is credited to the participant's account
in the form of Phantom Stock Units, the number of units being determined by
dividing the amount of the compensation deferred by the base price established
annually by the Board of Directors for that Plan Year's deferrals. Upon
distribution, the deferred compensation amount is valued by multiplying the
cumulative number of Phantom Stock Units by the average of the bid and ask
prices of Company common stock on the date of distribution. Currently, Mr.
Brummel is the only participant in the plan.
SEVERANCE AGREEMENT. In addition to Mr. Brummel's regular compensation, the
Bank has agreed to pay him additional compensation should his employment with
the Bank be terminated under certain conditions. The severance agreement is
effective only if Mr. Brummel's employment is involuntarily terminated in
connection with the merger or sale of the Bank and/or the Company, or if he
elects to terminate his employment within one year of a merger or sale. In the
event of such a termination, the Bank has agreed to pay Mr. Brummel a sum equal
to twelve times his monthly base salary in effect at the time of the merger or
sale. The base salary includes monthly gross salary but does not include bonuses
or other compensation. If the severance agreement had been triggered as of March
31, 1996, Mr. Brummel would have been entitled to a payment of $113,600.
OTHER BENEFIT PLANS
GENERAL. The Company believes that loyalty and productivity of employees
are significantly enhanced by the existence of benefit plans. Accordingly, a
number of benefit programs are available to all eligible employees, including
group medical plans, paid sick leave, paid vacation and group life insurance.
EMPLOYEES' SAVINGS AND PROFIT SHARING PLAN. The Bank maintains an
Employees' Savings and Profit Sharing Plan, dated effective January 1, 1978, and
amended and restated most recently in 1991, which serves as an incentive savings
plan for employees ("Savings Plan"). To participate, the employee must have been
employed by the Bank for at least six months and elect to contribute 2% to 10%
of the employee's total compensation. The Bank has in the past matched a portion
of each participant's contributions, but does not do so currently. Interests in
the Bank's contributions become fully vested after six years or in the event of
retirement, disability or death. The Savings Plan is structured to meet the
qualification standards of Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k).
STOCK OPTION PLAN. The Company adopted a combined incentive and
non-qualified stock option plan (the "Plan") effective May 1, 1995, and approved
by the shareholders at the annual shareholders
46
<PAGE>
meeting on March 20, 1996. Pursuant to the Plan, options may be granted at the
discretion of the Board of Directors or such committee as it may designate, to
key employees, including employees who are directors of the Company.
The purpose of the plan is to advance the interests of the Company and its
shareholders by enabling the Company to attract and retain the services of
people with training, experience and ability and to provide additional incentive
to key employees and directors of the Company by giving them an opportunity to
participate in the ownership of the Company.
The Plan reserves 276,000 shares of the Company's unissued common stock for
possible grants to employees. The purchase price of shares issuable upon
exercise of options is not less than 100% of the fair market value per optioned
share at the time of the grant. Each option granted under the plan is
exercisable for up to ten years following the date of grant.
As of March 31, 1996, options to purchase 96,600 shares, adjusted for stock
dividends and splits, have been granted pursuant to the Plan. The following
table sets forth information regarding outstanding options granted pursuant to
the Plan, each of which became exercisable as to 20% of the shares on May 1,
1996, and an additional 20% becoming exercisable each year thereafter.

STOCK AWARD PLAN. Although not embodied in a formal plan, the Company has
made a practice of issuing shares of Common Stock as a bonus to employees upon
their fifth anniversary as an employee and each subsequent five years
thereafter. At that time each employee receives one share for each year of
service then completed. The program is intended to increase the employee's
awareness of the Company's performance and instill an "ownership" commitment to
the Company.
EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN. The Company and the Bank have maintained a
retirement plan known as the Security Bank Holding Company Employee Stock
Ownership Plan (the "ESOP") that is primarily invested in the common stock of
the Company. The ESOP was established in 1986 and has been amended from time to
time to comply with the changes in the legal requirements for retirement plans.
Employees who are age 21 or older and have worked at least 1,000 hours during a
year will become ESOP participants. Common stock is allocated to participant
accounts in the ESOP each year, based on the amount of Company contributions
made and cash dividends paid on stock held by the ESOP. Participants do not
contribute to the ESOP. After two years of service, 20% of the amounts allocated
to a participant's account become "vested." An additional 20% becomes vested for
each additional year of service so that the participant is 100% vested in their
account after 6 years of service.
Stock is acquired by the ESOP using contributions made by the Bank and
revenues from investment income (primarily dividends). In addition, the ESOP has
acquired common stock from the Company in a number of separate transactions with
borrowed funds. In those transactions, the shares were purchased at their fair
market value at the time of the transactions and were pledged to secure
repayment of the loans. The pledged shares are held in an ESOP collateral
account until payments on the loans are made. Shares are released from the
collateral account and allocated to participant accounts at the end of each plan
year (December 31) according to formulas prescribed by the Department of Labor.
As of March 31, 1996, the total ESOP indebtedness, all of which is owed to
the Company, equalled $2,173,643, and the ESOP trust held a total of 978,728
shares of the Company's common stock, or
47
<PAGE>
35.43% of the total number of shares outstanding. Of those shares, 456,257
(16.52% of total outstanding) have been allocated to participant accounts. The
remaining 522,471 shares (18.91% of total outstanding) are held in the
collateral account. Both allocated and unallocated shares are considered legally
outstanding, may be voted by the ESOP trustees and are entitled to receive
dividends. The ESOP trustees are generally required to vote the shares in a
manner that is calculated to result in the best financial return to the ESOP
participants. However, ESOP participants, under the circumstances, are entitled
to direct the trustees on how to vote the shares allocated to their respective
accounts.
In four transactions between 1986 and 1993, the Company's ESOP borrowed a
total of $1,394,800 from third party lenders, which debt was guaranteed by the
Company, and used the proceeds to purchase a total of 619,230 shares of the
Common Stock from the Company. Substantially all of the stock purchase proceeds
were contributed to the Bank to increase its lending limits and strengthen its
capital position and ratios. On April 1, 1994, the ESOP borrowed $816,000 from
the Company and used the proceeds to pay off the then remaining balance of the
prior loans. The outstanding balance of this loan at March 31, 1996, was
$644,000. The Company acquired the funds loaned to the ESOP from a third party
lender on comparable terms. Interest on such loan is payable quarterly at a rate
equal to the Reference Rate announced from time to time by Bank of America
Oregon, less 0.5%. Principal is payable by the Company annually each December 15
in varying amounts. Payments from the ESOP to the Company are due 14 days
earlier. The Company currently intends to prepay its loan from the third party
lender, Bank of America Oregon, with proceeds from the Offering. The ESOP loan
to the Company will remain outstanding until paid in accordance with its
original terms.
One purchase by the ESOP of Company common stock did not involve a third
party lender. On December 22, 1993, the ESOP purchased 365,355 shares of stock
from the Company for $1,583,205 and gave a note in that amount to the Company.
This note requires interest payments quarterly at a rate equal to the Wall
Street Journal published prime rate, adjusted annually each December 15.
Principal is payable annually each December 15 in varying amounts through 2003.
The Company accounts for its ESOP loan in accordance with SOP 93-6 issued by
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The Bank of America
Oregon loan is reflected on the Company's balance sheet as a liability, recorded
as "ESOP Debt." Neither of two loans from the Company to the ESOP are recorded
on the balance sheet of the Company as assets. In order to account for the
unallocated shares acquired at the time of these loans (shares held in the
collateral account), the Company's balance sheet reflects a contra equity
account titled "Unallocated ESOP Shares" in an amount equal to the cost of the
shares. Until released, the shares are not treated as outstanding for purposes
of net income and book value per share calculations. Cash dividends paid by the
Company on ESOP shares may be used by the ESOP to pay debt services on loans due
to the Company. Dividends paid on unallocated shares do not directly affect the
Company's shareholders' equity, while dividends on allocated shares result in a
reduction of retained earnings.
As shares are released from the collateral account and allocated to
participants, the Company reports compensation expense in an amount equal to the
then current market value of the shares less dividends on allocated shares used
to pay debt service. However, the Company's tax deduction only equals the amount
of ESOP contributions it makes and dividends used to pay ESOP debt or allocated
to participants, subject to an overall limitation. If the Company's stock price
increases, this accounting treatment would have the effect of increasing the
charge to income for compensation expense, thus reducing reported earnings
without a corresponding increase in the amount deductible from taxable income.
Offsetting for balance sheet purposes the charge against income, is a
corresponding increase to the shareholder equity account by the reduction in the
unearned ESOP shares account with the balance accounted for as an increase in
surplus. The neutral effect on shareholders' equity is one of the results sought
in adopting the ESOP as a benefit plan; the expense which provides a retirement
benefit to employees remains in the Company's equity since the contributions are
invested in Company stock.
48
<PAGE>
Although there is a dilutive effect on the book value and earnings of
existing shares when shares are released from the collateral account, accounting
treatment computes earnings per share by treating as outstanding only the
allocated ESOP shares, and therefore has the effect of delaying any dilutive
effect until such shares are ultimately paid for and allocated.
Unallocated shares held in the ESOP are released based upon the debt service
payment schedule under the existing notes and are to be allocated to eligible
employees on December 31 of each year in the following amounts:

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
Pursuant to a Board of Directors Merit Compensation Plan, directors of the
Company each receive $300 in compensation for each meeting of the Board of
Directors attended, and $100 for each committee meeting attended. Directors may
also receive shares of Company stock as additional compensation if the return on
average equity for the Company exceeds 13%, with the fair market value of the
stock to be issued to each director being a percentage of the cash compensation
otherwise earned by such director, ranging from a low of 15% (if a 13% return on
average equity is achieved) to a high of 110% of the cash compensation (if a 17%
return average equity is achieved).
RELATED TRANSACTIONS WITH DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Some of the directors and officers of the Company and of Security Bank, and
members of their immediate families and firms and corporations with which they
are associated, have had transactions with Security Bank, including borrowings
and investments in time deposits. All such loans and investments in time
deposits have been made in the ordinary course of business, have been made on
substantially the same terms, including interest rates paid or charged and
collateral required, as those prevailing at the time for comparable transactions
with unaffiliated persons, and did not involve more than the normal risk of
collectibility or present other unfavorable features. As of March 31, 1996, the
aggregate outstanding amount of all loans to officers and directors was
approximately $1,086,017, which represented approximately 7.8% of the Company's
consolidated shareholders' equity at that date. All such loans are currently in
good standing and are being paid in accordance with their terms.

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK
SHARES AUTHORIZED AND OUTSTANDING OR SUBJECT TO OPTION
The Articles of Incorporation of the Company authorize the issuance of up to
20 million shares of stock, divided into three classes as follows:
1. 10,000,000 shares of Common Stock having a par value of $5.00 per share.
As of March 31, 1996, there were 2,762,270 shares of Common Stock issued and
outstanding.
2. 5,000,000 shares of Voting Preferred Stock having a par value of $5.00
per share, none of which is issued.
3. 5,000,000 shares of Non-voting Preferred Stock having a par value of
$5.00 per share, none of which is issued. Non-voting stock has no voting rights
except as provided by Oregon law.
Subject to the rights of holders of any preferred stock which may be
outstanding, the holders of the Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends
if and when declared by the Board of Directors from any funds legally available
therefor. See "Supervision and Regulation -- Dividends." Each outstanding share
of Common Stock has the same relative rights and preferences as each other share
of Common Stock, including the rights to the net assets of the corporation upon
liquidation. Each share is entitled to one vote on matters submitted to a vote
of shareholders. Holders of Common Stock are not entitled to conversion,
redemption or preemptive rights and may not cumulate votes in the election of
directors.
All issued and outstanding shares are, and all shares to be issued in this
offering will be, fully paid and non-assessable. The Board of Directors is
authorized to issue or sell additional capital stock of the Company, at its
discretion and for fair value, and to issue future cash or stock dividends,
without subsequent shareholder approval.
A total of 276,000 shares of Common Stock have been reserved for issuance
under the Company's combined incentive and non-qualified stock option plan, of
which 96,600 shares were subject to options as of March 31, 1996. See
"Management -- Other Benefit Plans."
The Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plan Trust currently holds a total of
978,728 shares of the Company's common stock, or 35.43% of the total number of
shares outstanding. Of those
51
<PAGE>
shares, 522,471 are not yet allocated to employees. The unallocated shares are
considered legally outstanding, may be voted and are entitled to receive
dividends. However, the unallocated shares are excluded for certain financial
statement purposes. See "Management -- Other Benefit Plans."
The Board of Directors is expressly authorized to designate by resolution
one or more series of preferred stock, voting or non-voting, and to fix and
determine the relative rights and preferences of the designated series, subject,
however, to the limitation that, unless required by law, the preferred stock has
no voting rights. The Board has not designated any series of preferred stock at
this time, and has no present intention of doing so or of issuing any preferred
stock.
SHARES AVAILABLE FOR TRADING
Exclusive of shares held by the ESOP, directors and executive officers hold
222,281 shares of Common Stock (8.05% of all shares outstanding). As a condition
to the Offering, each will agree that they will not sell any shares held or
controlled by them in the open market for a period of 180 days after the Closing
of the Offering without the prior written approval of Black & Company, Inc., the
Underwriter in this Offering. Upon expiration of the 180 day period, resale of
shares held by executive officers and directors will be restricted by certain
terms of Rule 144 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The allocated, unencumbered shares held by the Company's ESOP (456,257
shares representing 16.52% of the total outstanding) are available for sale in
the trading markets; however, the primary purpose of the ESOP is to hold shares
of the Company. Nonetheless, the trustees could determine to sell some of these
shares in the exercise of their fiduciary duty. As employees retire, leave the
Bank or are otherwise entitled to distribution from the ESOP and if the trustees
elect to issue to the participant Company shares rather than pay such
participant cash equal to the fair market value of the allocated shares, such
participant (other than executive officers) would be free to sell such shares in
the open markets.
All remaining shares, including those held by Ronald C. La Franchi, the
Company's largest individual shareholder, are available for sale; however, Mr.
La Franchi may be considered an affiliate of the Company based upon the size of
his holdings, and if so considered, the volume and terms of his sales would be
restricted by the provisions of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933.
ANTI-TAKEOVER PROVISIONS
The Company is subject to the Oregon Control Share Act (Oregon Revised
Statutes Sections 60.801-60.816)(the "Control Share Act"). The Control Share Act
generally provides that a person (the "Acquiring Person") who acquires voting
stock of an Oregon corporation in a transaction which results in such Acquiring
Person holding more than 20%, 33 1/3% or 50% of the total voting power of such
corporation (a "Control Share Acquisition") cannot vote the shares it acquires
in the Control Share Acquisition ("control shares") unless voting rights are
accorded to such control shares by the holders of a majority of the outstanding
voting shares, excluding the control shares held by the Acquiring Person and
shares held by the Company's officers and inside directors ("interested
shares"), and by the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting shares,
including interested shares. The foregoing vote would be required at the time an
Acquiring Person's holdings exceed 20% of the total voting power of a company,
and again at the time the Acquiring Person's holdings exceed 33 1/3% and 50%,
respectively. The term "Acquiring Person" is broadly defined to include persons
acting as a group. A transaction in which voting power is acquired solely by
receipt of an immediately revocable proxy does not constitute a "Control Share
Acquisition."
The Acquiring Person may, but is not required to, submit to the Company an
"Acquiring Person Statement" setting forth certain information about the
Acquiring Person and its plans with respect to the Company. The Acquiring Person
Statement may also request that the Company call a special meeting of
shareholders to determine whether the control shares will be allowed to retain
voting rights. If the Acquiring Person does not request a special meeting of
shareholders, the issue of voting
52
<PAGE>
rights of control shares will be considered at the next annual meeting or
special meeting of shareholders that is held more than 60 days after the date of
the Control Share Acquisition. If the Acquiring Person's control shares are
accorded voting rights and represent a majority or more of all voting power,
shareholders who do not vote in favor of the restoration of such voting rights
will have the right to receive the appraised "fair value" of their shares, which
may not be less than the highest price paid per share by the Acquiring Person
for the control shares.
Upon completion of this offering, the Company also will become subject to
the Oregon Business Combination Act (Oregon Revised Statutes Sections
60.825-60.845)(the "Business Combination Act"). The Business Combination Act
generally provides that in the event a person or entity acquires 15% or more of
the voting stock of an Oregon corporation (an "Interested Shareholder"), the
corporation and the Interested Shareholder, or any affiliated entity, may not
engage in certain business combination transactions for a period of three years
following the date the person became an Interested Shareholder. Business
combination transactions for this purpose include (a) a merger or plan of share
exchange, (b) any sale, lease, mortgage or other disposition of the assets of
the corporation where the assets have an aggregate market value equal to 10% or
more of the aggregate market value of the corporation's assets or outstanding
capital stock, and (c) certain transactions that result in the issuance of
capital stock of the corporation to the Interested Shareholder. These
restrictions do not apply if (i) the Interested Shareholder, as a result of the
transaction in which such person became an Interested Shareholder, owns at least
85% of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation (disregarding shares
owned by directors who are also officers, and certain employee benefit plans),
(ii) the Board of Directors approves the share acquisition or business
combination before the Interested Shareholder acquired 15% or more of the
corporation's voting stock, or (iii) the Board of Directors and the holders of
at least two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation
(disregarding shares owned by the Interested Shareholder) approve the
transaction after the Interested Shareholder acquires 15% or more of the
corporation's voting stock.
The Control Share Act and the Business Combination Act will have the effect
of encouraging any potential acquiror to negotiate with the Company's Board of
Directors and will also discourage certain potential acquirors unwilling to
comply with its provisions. A corporation may provide in its articles of
incorporation or bylaws that the laws described above do not apply to its
shares. The Company has not adopted such a provision and does not currently
intend to do so. The law may make the Company less attractive for takeover, and
thus shareholders may not benefit from a rise in the price of the Common Stock
that a takeover could cause. The limitations of the Acts are in addition to
regulatory restrictions on acquisitions of stock of banks and bank holding
companies under the federal Bank Holding Company Act.
In addition to the statutory provisions discussed above, the Company's
articles of incorporation and bylaws contain certain provisions that could make
more difficult the acquisition of the Company by means of a tender offer, proxy
contest, merger or otherwise. The articles of incorporation authorize the
issuance of up to 5,000,000 shares of voting preferred stock, which, although
intended primarily as a financing tool and not as a defense against takeovers,
could potentially be used by management to make more difficult uninvited
attempts to acquire control of the Company by, for example, diluting the
ownership interest of a substantial shareholder, increasing the consideration
necessary to effect an acquisition, or selling authorized but unissued shares to
a friendly third party. In addition, the articles of incorporation authorize the
issuance of warrants, rights, options or other obligations convertible into, or
entitling the holder thereof, to purchase shares of any class of stock, the
issuance of which may also have the effect of diluting the ownership interest of
a shareholder or increasing the consideration necessary to effect an acquisition
of a controlling interest in the Company.
The Company's bylaws provide for a staggered board of directors whereby
approximately one-third of the director positions are filled each year. This
provision makes it more difficult for a dissident shareholder to remove the
entire board of directors at one time. Such a provision may have the effect of
discouraging potential acquirors, and may be considered an anti-takeover
defense.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Security Bank Holding Company:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Security
Bank Holding Company and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the
related consolidated statements of income, shareholders' equity, and cash flows
for the years then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Security
Bank Holding Company and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994 and 1995, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Bank
changed its method of accounting for certain debt and equity securities in 1994
to adopt the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities".

subject to the regulations of certain Federal agencies and undergoes periodic
examinations by these regulatory authorities.
Security Financial Insurance Agency is in the business of selling annuities,
mutual funds, single premium whole life policies and long-term health care
insurance.
Alland, Inc. holds title to certain assets of the Bank.
(C) BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT PREPARATION
The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. The interim consolidated financial statements
are unaudited, but include all adjustments consisting of only normal accruals,
which the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of the results of
operations for such interim periods. In preparing the financial statements,
management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the
reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the balance sheet
and revenues and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ
significantly from those estimates.
Estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the
near-term relate to the determination of the reserve for loan losses and the
valuation of real estate acquired in connection with foreclosures or in
satisfaction of loans. In connection with the determination of the reserve for
loan losses and real estate owned, management obtains independent appraisals for
significant properties.
The Bank is located in Coos and Curry Counties of Oregon. The result of
doing business in this geographic region has been growth in loan demand. A large
portion of the Bank's loans are collateralized by real estate in this geographic
area and, accordingly, the ultimate collectibility of this portion of the Bank's
loan portfolio is susceptible to changes in the local market conditions.
However, the loan portfolio is diversified and management believes there is no
concentration of loans exceeding 10% for any particular industry. It is
management's opinion that the reserve for loan losses on loans and real estate
owned is adequate to absorb known and inherent risks in the loan portfolio.
While management uses available information to recognize losses on loans and
real estate owned, future additions to the reserve may be necessary based on
changes in economic conditions. In addition, various regulatory agencies, as an
integral part of their examination processes, periodically review the Bank's
reserve for losses on loans and real estate owned. Such agencies may require the
Bank to recognize additions to the reserve based on their judgments about
information available to them at the time of their examinations.

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)
(D) INVESTMENT SECURITIES
On January 1, 1994, the Bank adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities". Under this pronouncement, securities held to maturity are stated at
cost, adjusted for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts.
Securities available for sale and trading account securities are stated at
market value. Gains and losses on sale of securities, recognized on a specific
identification basis, and valuation adjustments of trading account securities
are included in noninterest income. Net unrealized gain or loss on securities
available for sale are included, net of tax, as a component of shareholders'
equity.
In November 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Special
Report No. 115-B, "A Guide to Implementation of Statement 115 on Accounting for
Certain Investments in Debt and Equity Securities". Special Report No. 115-B
allowed for a one-time reclassification among investment categories. In light of
the Special Report, the Bank reclassified all held to maturity securities to
available for sale. Total amortized cost of securities transferred and the
related unrealized gains at the date of transfer totaled $32,016,917 and
$276,531, respectively.
(E) INCOME RECOGNITION
Interest is accrued on a simple interest basis. The accrual of interest on
loans is discontinued when, in management's judgment, the future collectibility
of interest or principal is in serious doubt. Loans are generally placed on
nonaccrual status when they are 90 days past due.
Loan origination and commitment fees, net of certain direct loan origination
costs, are generally recognized over the life of the related loan as an
adjustment of the yield.
(F) RESERVE FOR LOAN LOSSES
The reserve for loan losses represents management's recognition of the
assumed risks of extending credit and its evaluation of the quality of the loan
portfolio. The reserve is maintained at a level considered adequate to provide
for potential loan losses based on management's assessment of various factors
affecting the loan portfolio, including a review of problem loans, business
conditions, loss experience and an overall evaluation of the quality of the
portfolio. The reserve is increased by provisions charged to operations and
reduced by loans charged off, net of recoveries. Loans which are 120 days
delinquent are charged off. Uncollectible interest on loans is charged off or an
allowance established by a charge to income equal to all interest previously
accrued and interest is subsequently recognized only to the extent cash payments
are received until delinquent interest is paid in full and, in management's
judgment, the borrower's ability to make periodic interest and principal
payments is back to normal in which case the loan is returned to accrual status.
The Bank adopted Statement of Financial Standards No. 114, "Accounting by
Creditors for Impairment of a Loan" as amended by SFAS No. 118 (collectively
referred to as SFAS No. 114) on January 1, 1995. SFAS No. 114 does not apply to
the Bank's credit card, residential real estate, or consumer installment loans
as these are considered large groups of smaller balance homogeneous loans which
are collectively evaluated for impairment. SFAS No. 114 requires entities to
measure certain impaired loans based on the present value of future cash flows
discounted at the loan's effective interest rate, or at the loan's market value
or the fair value of collateral if the loan is secured. A loan is considered
impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the
Bank will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual
terms of the loan agreement, including scheduled interest payments. If the
measurement of the impaired loans is less than the recorded investment in the
loan, impairment is recognized by creating or adjusting an existing allocation
of the allowance for loan losses. Impaired loans are charged off once they are
120

days delinquent. Prior periods have not been restated. The Bank does not
aggregate loans for the measurement of impaired loans as loans have been
evaluated individually for collectibility under the provisions of these
statements. When a loan is impaired, interest is not accrued on the loan as
interest income is only recognized as received on a cash basis. Cash receipts
are first applied to past-due principal payments before recognizing interest
income.
(G) DIRECT FINANCIAL LEASES
The aggregate lease payments to be received over the term of the leases plus
the estimated residual values are capitalized as the Bank's net investment in
the leases. The excess of the investment in the leases over the cost of the
equipment (unearned income) is recognized as income over the term of the lease.
(H) PREMISES AND EQUIPMENT
Premises and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and
amortization. Depreciation and amortization are charged to expense over the
estimated useful lives of the assets (buildings -- thirty-one and one-half to
forty years; furniture and equipment -- five to seven years) and are computed
using an accelerated method for assets acquired in 1991 and after and the
straight-line method for assets acquired prior to 1991.
(I) OTHER REAL ESTATE
Other real estate, acquired through foreclosure or deed in lieu of
foreclosure, is carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value, not to
exceed estimated net realizable value. When the property is acquired, any excess
of the loan balance over the estimated net realizable value is charged to the
reserve for loan losses. Subsequent write-downs, if any, are charged to the
reserve for other real estate losses.
(J) INCOME TAXES
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary
differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the
period that includes the enactment date.
(K) NET INCOME PER SHARE
Net income per share is based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during each period. For the years ended December 31, 1994 and
1995, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding did not include
581,052 shares and 522,471 shares, respectively, sold to SBHC's ESOP as these
shares have not been allocated to participant accounts nor have they been
committed to be released. The weighted average number of common shares
outstanding were 2,180,763 and 2,239,670 at December 31, 1994 and 1995,
respectively.
The weighted average number of shares outstanding for the three months ended
March 31, 1995 and 1996 were 2,180,980 and 2,239,742, respectively.
(L) CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash
on hand, amounts due from banks and federal funds sold. Generally, federal funds
are sold for one-day periods.

(M) RECLASSIFICATIONS
Certain amounts previously reported on the December 31, 1994 consolidated
financial statements have been reclassified to conform to classifications on the
December 31, 1995 consolidated financial statements.
(N) RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
In May 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 122, "Accounting for Mortgage
Servicing Rights". SFAS No. 122 amends certain provisions of SFAS No. 65 to
eliminate the accounting distinction between rights to service mortgage loans
for others that are acquired through loan origination activities and those
acquired through purchase transactions. The provision of SFAS No. 122 shall be
applied prospectively in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995 to
transactions in which a mortgage banking enterprise sells or securitizes
mortgage loans with servicing rights retained and to impairment evaluations of
all amounts capitalized as mortgage servicing rights, including those purchased
before the adoption of this statement. The Bank plans to implement SFAS No. 122
in fiscal 1996 and does not expect implementation to have a material impact on
the Bank's financial position or results of operations.
In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation", which applies to all transactions in which an entity acquires
goods or services issuing equity instruments or by incurring liabilities where
the payment amounts are based on the entity's common stock price, except for
employee stock ownership plans (ESOP's). The SFAS covers transactions with
employees and non-employees and is applicable to both public and non-public
entities.
SFAS No. 123 requires that, except for transactions with employees that are
within the scope of APB Opinion No. 25, all transactions in which goods or
services are the consideration received for the issuance of equity instruments
are to be accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or
the fair value of the equity instrument issued, whichever is more reliably
measurable. However, it also allows an entity to continue to measure
compensation costs for those plans using the intrinsic value based method of
accounting prescribed by APB Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to
Employees". Entities electing to follow the accounting methods in Opinion No. 25
must make pro forma disclosures of net income and, if presented, earnings per
share, as if the fair value method of accounting defined in the statement had
been applied.
SFAS No. 123 is effective for years beginning after December 15, 1995, or
for an earlier fiscal year for which this statement is initially adopted for
recognizing compensation costs. Pro forma disclosures required for entities that
elect to continue to measure compensation cost using Opinion No. 25 must include
the effects of all awards granted in fiscal years that begin after December 15,
1994. SBHC has elected to continue suing Opinion No. 25 and will make necessary
SFAS No. 123 pro forma disclosures.
(O) STOCK SPLIT
On September 20, 1995, SBHC's Board of Directors approved a three-for-two
common stock split in the form of a 50% stock dividend paid during January 1996.
The par value of the new shares issued totaled $4,603,445, the majority of which
was transferred from retained earnings after transferring substantially all of
surplus. Accordingly, all share and per share data have been restated to reflect
the stock split.
SBHC's Board of Directors approved a two-for-one common stock split in the
form of a 100% stock dividend paid during 1994. Accordingly, all share and per
share data have been restated to reflect the stock split.

(2) CASH AND DUE FROM BANKS
The Bank is required to maintain an average reserve balance with the Federal
Reserve Bank, or maintain such reserve balance in the form of cash. The amount
of this required reserve balance at December 31, 1994 and 1995 was approximately
$1,034,000 and $1,020,000, respectively, and was met by holding cash and
maintaining an average reserve balance with the Federal Reserve Bank.
(3) INVESTMENT SECURITIES
The Bank changed its method of accounting for certain investments in debt
and equity securities in connection with the issuance of SFAS No. 115 as
described in note 1. Upon the adoption of SFAS No. 115, the Bank classified
fixed maturity securities with amortized costs and estimated market value of
$43,242,659 and $43,723,618, respectively, as available-for-sale and recorded
the securities at fair value. Previously those securities were recorded at
amortized cost. The effect of the adoption was a $324,647 credit to
shareholders' equity which has been combined with 1994 changes in unrealized
losses on securities available for sale to arrive at a net decrease in
shareholders' equity of $681,018 during 1994.
The amortized costs, unrealized gains, unrealized losses, and estimated
market values of investment securities at December 31, 1994 and 1995 and March
31, 1996 are summarized as follows:

maintains control over the securities. Securities sold under agreements to
repurchase averaged approximately $2,797,000 for the year ended December 31,
1995 and the maximum amount outstanding at any month-end for the year ended
December 31, 1995 was approximately $3,555,000.
(9) TIME DEPOSITS
Time certificates of deposit in excess of $100,000 aggregated approximately
$12,728,000 and $18,305,000 at December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively.
Interest expense on these certificates amounted to approximately $232,000 and

The Bank has a qualified profit sharing 401(k) plan covering all half-time
or greater personnel with at least twelve months of service. Actual
contributions to the plan are determined by the Board of

(10) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS (CONTINUED)
Directors and are not to exceed the amount deductible for federal income tax
purposes. Actual contributions amounted to 0% of voluntary employee
contributions (up to 6% of salaries) in 1995 and 25% in 1994. Profit sharing
contributions charged to operations were approximately $32,000 in 1994. There
were no profit sharing contributions charged to operations in 1995.
EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN (ESOP)
SBHC sponsors a leveraged employee stock ownership plan (ESOP) that covers
all employees who meet the eligibility requirements. To be eligible, an employee
must be age twenty-one or older and have completed one year of service during
which the employee has at least 1,000 hours of service. The ESOP is
noncontributory. Employees are 20% vested after two years of service and vesting
increases at the rate of 20% each year thereafter such that employees are 100%
vested after six years of service. SBHC makes annual contributions to the ESOP
at a minimum, sufficient to pay; interest due on outstanding loans, required
principal repayments; operating expenses and administrative fees. In certain
years, SBHC has also deposited additional funds to enable the ESOP to repurchase
shares from participants. All dividends received by the ESOP are used to pay
debt service. The ESOP shares initially were pledged as collateral for its debt.
As the debt is repaid, shares are released from collateral based on the
proportion of debt service paid in the year and allocated to active employees.
The debt related to the ESOP is recorded as debt and the shares pledged as
collateral are reported as unearned ESOP shares on the consolidated balance
sheets. As shares are committed to be released from collateral, SBHC reports
compensation expense equal to the current market price of the shares, and the
shares become outstanding for per share computations. Dividends on allocated
ESOP shares are recorded as a reduction of retained earnings; dividends on
unallocated ESOP shares are recorded as a reduction of debt and accrued
interest.
SBHC has ESOP related debt of $733,000 and $644,000 at December 31, 1994 and
1995, respectively. The ESOP debt consists of a note payable to Bank of America
with a variable interest rate payable quarterly of 8.0% at December 31, 1995. In
addition, during 1993, SBHC loaned the ESOP $1,583,205 to purchase 365,355
shares of its common stock. This loan is not reflected on SBHC's consolidated
balance sheets at December 31, 1995 and 1994.
The ESOP shares as of December 31, 1994 and 1995 were as follows:

STOCK OPTION PLANS
The Bank maintains an Employee Stock Option Plan (the "Employee Plan"),
adopted in 1995, under which 276,000 shares of common stock are reserved for
issuance to key employees. The Employee Plan provides for the grant of options
to purchase shares to selected employees. The purchase price of shares for which
stock options are granted shall not be less than 100% of the fair market value
of such shares on the date of grant. Options granted under the Employee Plan are
exercisable in installments and expire on such date as the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors may determine, but not later than ten years
from the date of grant.

The Bank, as a state-chartered bank, is prohibited from declaring or paying
any dividends in an amount greater than undivided profits. At December 31, 1994
and 1995, undivided profits of approximately $5,454,681 and $3,708,787,
respectively, were available for the payment of dividends to SBHC with prior
regulatory approval.
(12) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES
The Bank is leasing three of its branches under operating leases which
include various renewal and purchase options. The approximate future minimum
rental payments under these leases are as follows:

Rental expense for all operating leases was approximately $93,000 and
$94,000 for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1995, respectively.
At December 31, 1995, the Bank has $20,816,000 of unused lines of credit.
The Bank is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in
the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers and
to ensure performance of certain commercial customer obligations. These
financial instruments include commitments outstanding to extend credit and
commercial standby letters of credit and involve varying degrees of credit risk
and market risk.
Credit risk, as defined by SFAS No. 105, "Disclosure of Information about
Financial Instruments with Off-Balance-Sheet Risk and Financial Instruments with
Concentration of Credit Risk" represents the maximum potential accounting loss
due to possible non-performance by obligors and counterparties under the terms
of their contracts. Market risk represents the potential loss due to the
decrease in the value of a financial instrument caused primarily by changes in
interest rates or foreign exchange rates, or the prices of equities or
commodities (or related indices).

</TABLE>
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as
there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments
generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may
require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire
without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily
represent future cash requirements. The Bank evaluates each customer's
creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis. The amount of collateral obtained if
deemed necessary by the Bank upon extension of credit is based on management's
credit evaluation of the counterparty. Collateral held varies but may include
accounts receivable, inventory, property, plant, and equipment and income
producing commercial properties.
Standby letters of credit written are conditional commitments issued by the
Bank to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party. Those
guarantees are primarily issued to support public and private borrowing
arrangements, including commercial paper, bond financing, and similar
transactions. The standby letters of credit will expire within one year.
For standby letters of credit and commitments to extend credit, the credit
risk amount represents the contractual amount. Standby letters of credit and
commitments to extend credit would have market risk if issued or extended at a
fixed rate of interest. However, these contracts are primarily made at a
floating rate. Fees received are generally recognized as revenue over the life
of the commitment.
The Bank is a defendant in legal proceedings arising in the normal course of
business. In the opinion of management, the disposition of pending litigation
will not have a material effect on the Bank's financial statements.

(13) PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES (CONTINUED)
SBHC has determined that the valuation allowance of $237,000 as of December
31, 1995 is reasonable as it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax
asset of $406,789 as of that date will be principally realized through carryback
to taxable income in prior years, and future reversals of existing taxable
temporary differences, and to a minor extent, future taxable income. Management
believes that future taxable income will be sufficient to realize the benefits
of temporary differences that cannot be realized through carryback to prior
years or through the reversal of future temporary taxable differences.
(14) TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES
Some of the directors, executive officers and principal shareholders of
SBHC, and the companies with which they are associated, are customers of and
have had banking transactions with the Bank in the ordinary course of business,
and the Bank expects to have such transactions in the future. All loans and
commitments to loan included in such transactions were made on substantially the
same terms (including interest rates and collateral) as those prevailing at the
time for comparable transactions with other persons and, in the opinion of the
management of the Bank, do not involve more than the normal risk of
collectibility or present any other unfavorable features.
An analysis of activity with respect to loans to directors, executive
officers and principal shareholders of SBHC for the years ended December 31,
1994 and 1995 is as follows:

</TABLE>
Financial assets and financial liabilities other than securities are not
traded in active markets. The above estimates of fair value require subjective
judgments and are approximate. Changes in the following methodologies and
assumptions could significantly affect the estimates. These estimates may also
vary significantly from the amounts that could be realized in actual
transactions.
- Financial Assets -- The estimated fair value approximates the book value
of cash equivalents and time deposits. For investment securities, the fair
value is based on quoted market prices. The fair value of loans is
estimated by discounting future cash flows using current rates at which
similar loans would be made. The fair value of mortgage loans held for
sale and Federal Home Loan Bank stock approximates the book value.
- Financial Liabilities -- The estimated fair value of deposits and
securities sold under agreements to repurchase are estimated by
discounting the future cash flows using current rates at which similar
deposits would be made. The estimated fair value approximates the book
value of ESOP debt and short-term borrowings. The estimated fair value of
Federal Home Loan Bank borrowings is estimated by discounting the future
cash flows using current rates at which similar borrowings would be made.
- Off Balance Sheet Financial Instruments -- Fair value considers the
difference between current levels of interest rates and committed rates.
See note 12 to the consolidated financial statements.
The Bank did not hold any derivative financial instruments in its investment
portfolio at or during the year ended December 31, 1995, with the exception of
collateralized mortgage obligations.

PART II
(ITEMS NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS)
ITEM 1. INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
As an Oregon corporation, the Company is subject to the Oregon Business
Corporation Act (the "Business Corporation Act"). Under the Business Corporation
Act, a corporation may provide in its Articles of Incorporation or in its Bylaws
for the indemnification of directors and officers against liability where the
director or officer has acted in good faith and with a reasonable belief that
actions taken were in the best interests of the corporation or at least not
adverse to the corporation's best interests and, if in a criminal proceeding,
the individual had no reasonable cause to believe that the conduct in question
was unlawful. Under the Business Corporation Act, a corporation may not
indemnify an officer or director against liability in connection with a claim by
or in the right of the corporation in which such officer or director was
adjudged liable to the corporation or in connection with any other proceeding in
which the officer or director was adjudged liable for receiving an improper
personal benefit, however a corporation may indemnify against the reasonable
expenses associated with such proceeding. A corporation may not indemnify
against breaches of the duty of loyalty. The Business Corporation Act provides
for mandatory indemnification of directors against all reasonable expenses
incurred in the successful defense of any claim made or threatened whether or
not such claim was by or in the right of the corporation. A court may order
indemnification if it determines that the director or officer is fairly and
reasonably entitled to indemnification in view of all the relevant circumstances
whether or not the director or officer met the good faith and reasonable belief
standards of conduct set out in the statute. Unless otherwise stated in the
Articles of Incorporation, officers of the corporation are also entitled to the
benefit of the above statutory provisions.
The Business Corporation Act also provides that the corporation may, by so
providing in its Articles of Incorporation, eliminate or limit the personal
liability of a director to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary
damages for conduct as a director, provided that the Articles of Incorporation
may not eliminate or limit liability for any breach of the director's duty of
loyalty, acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, any unlawful distribution, or any
transaction from which the director received an improper personal benefit.
In accordance with Oregon law, the Articles of Incorporation of the Company
provide that directors are not personally liable to the corporation or its
shareholders for monetary damages for conduct as a director, except for (i) any
breach of a director's duty of loyalty to the corporation, (ii) acts or
omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing
violation of the law, (iii) any distribution to shareholders which is unlawful,
or (iv) any transaction from which the director received an improper personal
benefit.
The Articles of Incorporation also provide for indemnification of any person
who is or was a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any civil,
administrative or criminal proceeding by reason of the fact that the person is
or was a director or officer of the corporation or any of its subsidiaries, or
is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer,
partner, agent or employee of another corporation or entity, against expenses,
including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement,
actually and reasonably incurred by that person if (i) the person acted in good
faith and in a manner reasonably believed to not be opposed to the best
interests of the corporation, or (ii) the act or omission giving rise to such
action or proceeding is ratified, adopted or confirmed by the corporation, or
the benefit thereof was received by the corporation. Indemnification is
available under this provision of the Articles of Incorporation in the case of
derivative actions, unless the person is adjudged to be liable for gross
negligence or deliberate misconduct in the performance of the person's duty to
the corporation. To the extent a director, officer, employee or agent (including
an attorney) is successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action
to which this provision is applicable, the person is entitled to indemnification
for expenses actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with
that defense.

ITEM 3. UNDERTAKINGS
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
(A) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
Act of 1933 (the "Act") may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise,
the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in
the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will
be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
(B) For determining any liability under the Act, the registrant will treat
the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this
registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of
prospectus filed by the registrant under Rule 424(b)(1), or (4), or 497(h) under
the Act as part of this registration statement as of the time the Commission
declared it effective.
(C) For determining any liability under the Act, the registrant will treat
each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus as a new
registration statement for the securities offered in the registration statement,
and that offering of the securities at that time as the initial bona fide
offering of those securities.
(D) The registrant will provide to the Underwriter at the closing specified
in the Underwriting Agreement certificates in such denominations and registered
in such names as required by the Underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each
purchaser.
ITEM 4. UNREGISTERED SECURITIES ISSUED OR SOLD WITHIN ONE YEAR
The registrant has issued or sold the following securities within one year
prior to filing this registration statement which were not registered under the
Securities Act of 1933:

UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT
_____________, 1996
BLACK & COMPANY, INC. as the
Representative of the several Underwriters
One S.W. Columbia Street, Suite 1200
Portland, Oregon 97258
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Security Bank Holding Company, an Oregon corporation (the "Company"),
proposes to issue and sell 350,000 authorized but unissued shares of the
Company's Common Stock, with $5.00 par value, ("Common Stock") to the several
underwriters named in Schedule A annexed hereto (the "Underwriters"), for
whom you are acting as the Representative. These 350,000 shares are herein
called the "Firm Shares." In addition, the Company proposes to grant to the
Underwriters an option to purchase up to 52,500 additional shares of Common
Stock (the "Option Shares"), as provided in Section 3 hereof. The Firm
Shares and, to the extent such option is exercised, the Option Shares are
hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Shares." You have advised the
Company that the Underwriters propose to make a public offering of their
respective portions of the Shares on the effective date of the registration
statement hereinafter referred to, or as soon thereafter as in your judgment
is advisable.
The Company hereby confirms its agreement with respect to the purchase
of the Shares by the Underwriters as follows:
SECTION 1. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.
1.1. The Company represents and warrants to the several
Underwriters that:
1.1.1. The Company has prepared and filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") a registration statement on
Form SB-1 (File No. 33-80795) with respect to the Shares and a related
preliminary prospectus in conformity with the requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the "Act") and the rules and
regulations of the Commission thereunder (the "Rules and
Regulations"). The term "Registration Statement" as used in this
Agreement will mean such registration statement, as amended, including
the information (if any) deemed to be part thereof pursuant to Rule
430A. The term "Prospectus" as used in this Agreement will mean the
form of prospectus first filed by the Company with the Commission
pursuant to Rule 424(b) and Rule 430A. Each preliminary prospectus
included in the Registration Statement, prior to the time it became
effective or filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(a), is
referred to in this Agreement as a "Preliminary Prospectus." The
- ----------------
*Plus up to 52,500 shares to cover over-allotments, if any.
<PAGE>
Registration Statement has been declared effective under the Act.
There have been delivered to you two signed copies of such
registration statement and amendments, together with two copies of
each exhibit filed therewith. Conformed copies of such registration
statement and amendments (but without exhibits) and of the related
preliminary prospectus have been delivered to you in such reasonable
quantities as you have requested for each of the Underwriters. The
Company will file with the Commission a final prospectus in accordance
with Rule 424(b) and Rule 430A of the Rules and Regulations.
1.1.2. No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement has been issued by the Commission and no
proceeding for that purpose has been instituted or threatened by the
Commission. No order preventing or suspending the use of any
Preliminary Prospectus has been issued by the Commission, and each
Preliminary Prospectus has conformed in all material respects to the
requirements of the Act and the Rules and Regulations and, as of its
date, did not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading. At the time the Registration
Statement became effective, and at all times subsequent thereto up to
and including the Closing Date and the Option Closing Date hereinafter
mentioned, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, and any
amendments or supplements thereto, contained and will contain all
material statements and information required to be included therein by
the Act and the Rules and Regulations and will in all material
respects conform to the requirements of the Act and the Rules and
Regulations, and neither the Registration Statement nor any amendment
or supplement thereto will contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and neither
the Prospectus nor any amendment or supplement thereto will contain
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no
representation or warranty as to information contained in or omitted
from any Preliminary Prospectus, the Registration Statement, the
Prospectus or any such amendment or supplement in reliance upon, and
in conformity with, written information furnished to the Company by or
on behalf of any Underwriter, directly or through the Representative,
specifically for use in the preparation thereof.
1.1.3. The Company has been duly incorporated and is validly
existing as a corporation under the laws of the state of Oregon. The
Company has full power and authority (corporate and other) to own and
lease properties and conduct business as described in the Prospectus.
The Company is in possession of and operating in compliance in all
material respects with all authorizations, licenses, permits,
consents, certificates and orders material to the conduct of its
business, all of which are valid and in full force and effect; the
Company is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a
foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which the ownership or
leasing of properties or the conduct of its business requires such
qualification, except for jurisdictions in which the failure to so
qualify would not have a material adverse effect on the Company; and
no proceeding has been instituted in any such jurisdiction, revoking,
limiting or curtailing, or seeking to revoke, limit or curtail, such
power and authority or qualification. Except as set forth in the
Prospectus, the Company does not own or control, directly or
indirectly, any corporation, association or other entity.
1.1.4. The Company's authorized and outstanding capital stock
is as set forth under the heading "Description of Common Stock" in the
Prospectus. The issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock have
been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and
nonassessable. All offers and sales by the Company of outstanding
shares of capital stock and other securities of the Company, prior to
the date hereof, were made in compliance with all applicable federal
and state securities laws, were not issued in violation of or subject
to any preemptive rights or other rights to subscribe for or purchase
securities, and conform to the description thereof contained in the
Prospectus. Except as disclosed in or contemplated by the Prospectus
and the financial statements of the Company and the related notes
thereto included in the Prospectus, the Company does not have
outstanding any options to purchase, or any preemptive rights or other
rights to subscribe for or to purchase, any securities or obligations
convertible into, or any contracts or commitments to issue or sell,
shares of its capital stock or any such options, rights, convertible
securities
<PAGE>
or obligations. The description of the Company's stock option,
stock bonus and other stock plans or arrangements, and the options or
other rights granted and exercised thereunder, set forth in the
Prospectus, accurately and fairly presents the information required to be
shown with respect to such plans, arrangements, options and rights.
1.1.5. The Shares to be sold to the Underwriters pursuant to
this Agreement have been duly authorized and, when issued, delivered
and paid for as contemplated herein, will be duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and will conform to the
description thereof contained in the Prospectus. Except as described
in the Prospectus, there are no preemptive rights or other rights to
subscribe for or to purchase, or any restriction upon the voting or
transfer of, any shares of capital stock of the Company pursuant to
the Company's Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws or any agreement or
instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is
bound. No shareholder of the Company has any right which has not been
waived to require the Company to register the sale of any shares owned
by such shareholder under the Act in the public offering contemplated
by this Agreement. No further approval or authority of the
shareholders or the Board of Directors of the Company will be required
for the issuance and sale of the Shares to be sold to the Underwriters
as contemplated herein.
1.1.6. The Company has full legal right, power and authority
to enter into this Agreement and to perform the transactions contemplated
hereby. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered
by the Company and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the
Company enforceable in accordance with its terms, except (i) as
enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
conveyance, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to
or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally or by general
equitable principles, and (ii) to the extent that rights of indemnity or
contribution under this Agreement may be limited by federal and state
securities laws or the public policies underlying such laws. The making
and performance of this Agreement by the Company and the consummation of
the transactions herein contemplated will not violate any provisions of
the articles of incorporation or bylaws, or other organizational documents
of the Company, and will not conflict with, result in the breach or
violation of, or constitute, either by itself or upon notice or the
passage of time or both, a default under any agreement, mortgage, deed of
trust, lease, franchise, license, indenture, permit or other instrument to
which the Company is a party or by which the Company or its properties
may be bound or affected, any statute or any authorization, judgment,
decree, order, rule or regulation of any court or any regulatory body,
administrative agency or other governmental body applicable to the
Company or any of its properties. No consent, approval, authorization
or other order of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or
other governmental body is required for the execution and delivery of
this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, except for compliance with the Act, the Blue Sky laws
applicable to the public offering of the Shares by the several
Underwriters and the clearance of such offering with the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (the "NASD").
1.1.7. KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, who have expressed their
opinion with respect to the financial statements of the Company filed
with the Commission as a part of the Registration Statement and
included in the Prospectus and in the Registration Statement, are
independent accountants as required by the Act and the Rules and
Regulations.
1.1.8. The financial statements of the Company and the
related notes thereto included in the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus present fairly the financial position, results of
operations, cash flows and changes in shareholders' equity of the
Company as of the respective dates and for the periods indicated in
such financial statements. Such financial statements and related
notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles applied on a consistent basis as certified by
the independent accountants named in Section 1.1.7. No other
financial statements or schedules are required to be included in the
Registration Statement. The summary financial data set forth in the
Prospectus under the caption "Selected Consolidated Financial Data"
fairly presents the information set forth therein on the basis stated
in the Registration Statement.
<PAGE>
1.1.9. The Company is not (i) in violation or default of any
provision of its articles of incorporation or bylaws, or other
organizational documents, or (ii) in breach of or in default with respect
to any provision of any agreement, judgment, decree, order, mortgage, deed
of trust, lease, franchise, license, indenture, permit or other instrument
to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties are bound.
There does not exist any state of facts which constitutes an event of
default on the part of the Company as defined in such documents or which,
with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such an event of
default.
1.1.10. There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending
before any court or administrative or regulatory agency or, to the best of
the Company's knowledge, threatened by any party which if determined
adversely to the Company would, individually or in the aggregate result in
a material adverse change in the condition (financial or other),
properties, business, results of operations or prospects of the Company or
prevent or adversely affect the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. No labor disturbance by the employees of the Company exists or
is imminent which might be expected to affect adversely the condition
(financial or other), properties, business, results of operations or
prospects of the Company. The Company is not a party to or subject to the
provisions of any material injunction, judgment, decree or order of any
court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental body.
1.1.11. The Company has good and marketable title to all the
properties and assets reflected as owned in the financial statements
hereinabove described (or elsewhere in the Prospectus), subject to no
lien, mortgage, pledge, charge or encumbrance of any kind except
(i) those, if any, reflected in such financial statements (or elsewhere in
the Prospectus), or (ii) those which are not material in amount and do not
adversely affect the use made and proposed to be made of such property by
the Company. The Company holds its leased properties under valid and
binding leases, with such exceptions as are not materially significant in
relation to the business of the Company. Except as disclosed in the
Prospectus, the Company owns or leases all such properties as are
necessary to its operations as now conducted.
1.1.12. There are no contracts or other documents required to
be described in the Registration Statement or to be filed as exhibits to
the Registration Statement by the Act or by the Rules and Regulations
which have not been described or filed as required. The contracts so
described in the Prospectus are in full force and effect on the date
hereof, and neither the Company, nor to the best of the Company's
knowledge, any other party is in breach of or in default under any of such
contracts except any breach or default of a contract described in the
Registration Statement where such breach or default would not materially
adversely affect the Company.
1.1.13. Since the respective dates as of which information is
given in the Registration Statement and Prospectus, and except as
described in or specifically contemplated by the Prospectus: (i) the

indirect, direct or contingent, or entered into any material verbal or
written agreement or other transaction which is not in the ordinary course

(financial or other), business, properties, results of operations,
management or prospects of the Company.
1.1.14. Except as disclosed in or specifically contemplated
by the Prospectus, the Company owns or licenses all trademarks, trade
names, patent rights, copyrights, licenses, approvals and governmental
authorizations to conduct its businesses as now conducted. The Company

rights, patent rights, copyrights, licenses, trade secrets or other
similar rights of others, and there is no claim being made or
threatened against the Company regarding trademark, trade name,
patent, copyright, license, trade secret or other infringement which
could have a material adverse effect on the condition (financial or
other), business, results of operations or prospects of the Company.
1.1.15. The Company is conducting its business in compliance
with all applicable laws, rules and regulations of the jurisdictions in
which it is conducting business, including, without limitation, all
applicable local, state and federal environmental laws and regulations,

affect the condition (financial or other), business, results of operations
or prospects of the Company.
1.1.16. The Company has filed all necessary federal, state
and foreign income, excise and franchise tax returns and has paid all
taxes shown as due thereon. The Company has no knowledge of any tax

Company which could materially and adversely affect the business, results
of operations or properties of the Company.

the amounts generally deemed adequate for its business, including, without

(iii) access to records is permitted only in accordance with management's

1.1.22. The Company has not taken and will not take, directly

<PAGE>
shareholder except as provided by such written agreements.

warrants to the Company that the information set forth (i) on the cover page

for use in connection with the preparation of the Registration Statement and
the Prospectus and is correct in all material respects. The Representative
represents and warrants that it has been authorized by each of the other
Underwriters to enter into this Agreement on its behalf and to act as its
Representative in the manner herein provided.
SECTION 3. PURCHASE, SALE AND DELIVERY OF SHARES.
3.1. On the basis of the representations, warranties and
agreements herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein
set forth, the Company agrees to issue and sell to the Underwriters 350,000
of the Firm Shares. The Underwriters agree, severally and not jointly, to
purchase from the Company the number of Firm Shares described below. The
purchase price per share to be paid by the several Underwriters to the
Company will be $__________ per share.
3.2. The obligation of each Underwriter to the Company will be
to purchase from the Company that number of Firm Shares set forth opposite
the name of such Underwriter in Schedule A hereto.
3.3. Delivery of certificates for the Firm Shares to be
purchased by the Underwriters and payment therefor will be made at the
offices of Black & Company, Inc., located at One S.W. Columbia Street, Suite
1200, Portland, Oregon (or such other place as may be agreed upon by the
Company and the Representative) at such time and date, not later than the
third full business day following the first date that any of the Shares are
released by you for sale to the public, as you designate by at least 48
hours' prior notice to the Company (or at such other time and date, not later
than one week after such third full business day as may be agreed upon by the
Company and the Representative) (the "Closing Date"); provided, however, that

the Prospectus has been so recirculated.
Delivery of certificates for the Firm Shares will be made by or on
behalf of the Company to you, for the respective accounts of the Underwriters
against payment by you, for the accounts of the several Underwriters, of the
purchase price therefor by certified or official bank check payable in next

two full business days prior to the Closing Date, and will be made available
for checking and packaging on the business day preceding the Closing Date at
a location in New York, New York, as may be designated by you. Time is of
the essence, and delivery at the time and place specified in this Agreement
is a further condition to the obligations of the Underwriters.
3.4. In addition, on the basis of the representations,
warranties and agreements herein contained, but subject to the terms and
conditions herein set forth, the Company hereby grants an option to the
several Underwriters to purchase, severally and not jointly, up to an
aggregate of 52,500 Option Shares at the purchase price per share to be paid
for the Firm Shares, for use solely in covering any over-allotments made by
you for the account of the Underwriters in the sale and distribution of the
Firm Shares. The option granted
<PAGE>
hereunder may be exercised at any time (but not more than once) within 45
days after the first date that any of the Shares are released by you for sale
to the public, upon notice by you to the Company setting forth the aggregate
number of Option Shares as to which the Underwriters are exercising the
option, the names and denominations in which the Certificates for such shares
are to be registered, and the time and place at which such certificates will
be delivered. Such time of delivery (which may not be earlier than the
Closing Date), being herein referred to as the "Option Closing Date," will be
determined by you, but if at any time other than the Closing Date will not be
earlier than three nor later than five full business days after delivery of
such notice of exercise. The number of Option Shares to be purchased by each
Underwriter will be determined by multiplying the number of Option Shares to
be sold by the Company pursuant to such notice of exercise by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of Firm Shares to be purchased by such
Underwriter as set forth opposite its name in Schedule A and the denominator
of which is 350,000 (subject to such adjustments to eliminate any fractional
share purchases as you in your discretion may make). Certificates for the
Option Shares will be made available for checking and packaging on the
business day preceding the Option Closing Date at a location in New York, New
York, as may be designated by you. The manner of payment for and delivery of
the Option Shares will be the same as for the Firm Shares purchased from the
Company as specified in Section 3.3. At any time before lapse of the option,
you may cancel such option by giving written notice of such cancellation to
the Company. If the option is canceled or expires unexercised in whole or in
part, the Company will deregister under the Act the number of Option Shares
as to which the option has not been exercised.
3.5. You have advised the Company that each Underwriter has
authorized you to accept delivery of its Shares and to make payment and
receipt therefor. You, for yourself alone and not as the Representative of
the Underwriters, may (but will not be obligated to) make payment for any
Shares to be purchased by any Underwriter whose funds have not been received
by you by the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be,
for the account of such Underwriter, but any such payment will not relieve
such Underwriter from any of its obligations under this Agreement.
3.6. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the
Underwriters propose to make a public offering of their respective portions
of the Shares as soon after the effective date of the Registration Statement
as in the judgment of the Representative is advisable and at the public
offering price set forth on the cover page of and on the terms set forth in
the Prospectus.
SECTION 4. COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.
4.1. The Company covenants and agrees that:
4.1.1. The Company will prepare and, within the time
period prescribed, file with the Commission under Rule 424(b) under
the Act a Prospectus containing information previously omitted at the
time of effectiveness of the Registration Statement in reliance on
Rule 430A under the Act and will provide evidence satisfactory to you
of such timely filing. The Company will fully and completely comply
with the provisions of Rule 430A of the Rules and Regulations with
respect to information omitted from the Registration Statement in
reliance upon such rule. The Company will not file any amendment to
the Registration Statement or supplement to the Prospectus of which
the Representative has not previously been advised and furnished with

promptly after reasonable notice thereof or which is not in compliance
with the Act or the Rules and Regulations. The Company will promptly
advise you in writing (i) of the receipt of any comments of the
Commission, (ii) of any request of the Commission for amendment of or
supplement to the Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus
or the Prospectus or for additional information, (iii) when any
amendment to the Registration Statement becomes effective, and (iv) of
the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of the institution of

obtain the lifting of such order at the earliest possible moment.
4.1.2. The Company will prepare and file with the
Commission, promptly upon your request, any amendments or supplements
to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus which in your
<PAGE>
reasonable judgment may be necessary or advisable to enable the
several Underwriters to continue the distribution of the Shares and
will use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective as
promptly as possible.
4.1.3. During such period as a prospectus is required by
law to be delivered in connection with sales by an Underwriter or
dealer, the Company, at its expense, but only for the nine-month
period referred to in Section 10(a)(3) of the Act, will furnish to you
or mail to your order, copies of the Registration Statement, the
Prospectus, the Preliminary Prospectus and all amendments and
supplements to any such documents in each case as soon as available
and in such quantities as you may reasonably request, for the purposes
contemplated by the Act.
4.1.4. If at any time when a prospectus relating to the
Shares is required to be delivered under the Act, any event occurs, as
a result of which the Prospectus, including any amendments or
supplements, would contain an untrue statement of a material fact, or
omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it is
necessary at any time to amend the Prospectus, including any
amendments or supplements, to comply with the Act or the Rules and
Regulations, the Company will promptly advise you thereof and will
promptly prepare and file with the Commission, at its own expense, an
amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission
or an amendment or supplement which will effect such compliance and
will use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective as
soon as possible. In case any Underwriter is required to deliver a
prospectus after such nine-month period, the Company upon request, but
at the expense of such Underwriter, will promptly prepare such
amendment or amendments to the Registration Statement and such
Prospectus or Prospectuses as may be necessary to permit compliance
with the requirements of Section 10(a)(3) of the Act.
4.1.5. As soon as practicable, but not later than 45
days after the end of the first fiscal quarter of the Company ending
after one year following the "effective date of the Registration
Statement" (as defined in Rule 158(c) of the Rules and Regulations),
the Company will make generally available to its security holders an
earnings statement (which need not be audited) covering a period of 12
consecutive months beginning after the effective date of the
Registration Statement which will satisfy the provisions of the last
paragraph of Section 11(a) of the Act.
4.1.6. The Company will apply the net proceeds of the
sale of the Shares sold by it in accordance with its statements under
the caption "Use of Proceeds" in the Prospectus. The Company will
file with the Commission such reports on Form SR as may be required
pursuant to Rule 463 under the Act.
4.1.7. To the extent that such has not already been
completed, the Company will file with the Commission a registration of
the Company's Common Stock under either Section 12(g) or Section 15(d)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the "Exchange
Act") and the Company will also exercise its best efforts including,
if necessary, the filing with the Commission of amendments to such
registration as to cause such class of securities to be registered
under the Exchange Act as soon as is possible after the effective date
of the Registration Statement.
4.1.8. During the period of five years hereafter, the
Company will furnish to you and, upon your request, to each of the
other Underwriters: (i) as soon as practicable after the end of each
fiscal year, copies of the Annual Report of the Company containing the
balance sheet of the Company as of the close of such fiscal year and
statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the year
then ended and the opinion thereon of the Company's independent public
accountants; (ii) as soon as practicable after the filing thereof,
copies of each proxy statement, Annual Report on Form 10-KSB,

exchange; and (iii) as soon as available, copies of any report or
communication of the Company mailed generally to holders of its Common
Stock.
4.1.9. The Company will use its best efforts to cause and
maintain the inclusion of its
<PAGE>
Common Stock for trading on the NASDAQ National Market.
4.1.10. The Company will cooperate with you and your
counsel in order to qualify or register the Shares for sale under (or
obtain exemptions from the application of) the securities laws and
regulations of such states, territories and jurisdictions as you
designate ("Blue Sky Laws"), will comply with such laws and will
continue such qualifications, registrations and exemptions in effect
so long as required for the distribution of the Shares.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not be required to
qualify as a foreign corporation or to file a general consent to
service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not presently
qualified or where it would be subject to taxation as a foreign
corporation. The Company will promptly advise you of the suspension
of the qualification or registration of (or any such exemption
relating to) the Shares for offering, sale or trading in any
jurisdiction or any initiation or threat of any proceeding for any
such purpose, and in the event of the issuance of any order suspending
such qualification, registration or exemption, the Company, with your
cooperation, will use its best efforts to obtain the withdrawal
thereof.
4.2. You, as the Representative of the Underwriters, may, in
your sole discretion, waive in writing the performance by the Company of any
one or more of the foregoing covenants or extend the time for their
performance.

stock of the Company or any security convertible into or
exchangeable for capital stock of the Company.
(5) The Registration Statement has become effective

corporate authority to enter into this Agreement and to sell
and deliver the Shares to be sold by it to the several
Underwriters; this Agreement has been duly and validly
authorized by all necessary corporate action by the Company,
has been duly and validly executed and delivered by and on
behalf of the Company, and is a valid and binding agreement of
the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms, except
as enforceability may be limited by (A) bankruptcy,
insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium
or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights
generally and by general equitable principles, and (B) to the
extent that rights to indemnity or contribution under this
Agreement may be limited by federal or state securities laws
or the public policies underlying such laws; and no approval,
authorization, order, consent, registration, filing,
qualification, license or permit of or with any court,
regulatory, administrative or other governmental body is

connection with the purchase and distribution of the Shares by
the Underwriters and the clearance of such offering with the
NASD.
(10) The execution and performance of this
Agreement and the consummation of the transactions herein
contemplated will not conflict with, result in the breach of,
or constitute, either by itself or upon notice or the passage
of time or both, a default under any agreement, mortgage, deed
of trust, lease, franchise, license, indenture, permit or
other instrument actually known to such counsel to which the
Company is a party or by which the Company or any of its
property may be bound or affected which is material to the
Company, or violate any of the provisions of the articles of

party or by which it or any of its properties or assets
(tangible or intangible) may be bound or affected, except
where such violation, breach or default would not materially
adversely affect the Company; and, to the actual knowledge of
such counsel, the Company is in compliance with all laws,
rules, regulations, judgments, decrees, orders and statutes of
any court or jurisdiction to which it is subject, except
<PAGE>
where noncompliance would not materially adversely affect the
Company.
(12) No holders of securities of the Company have
rights which have not been waived to the registration of
shares of Common Stock or other securities because of the
filing of the Registration Statement by the Company or the
offering contemplated hereby.
(13) Assuming due execution by the parties
thereto, the Lock-up Agreements are legal, valid and binding
obligations of the parties thereto, enforceable against the
party and, assuming timely notice of the terms of the Lock-up
Agreements, any subsequent holder of the securities subject
thereto in accordance with their terms except (i) as such
enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance
or similar laws affecting creditors rights generally, and (ii)
that the remedies of specific performance and injunctive and
other forms of equitable relief may be subject to equitable
defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any
proceedings therefor may be brought.
(14) The Company is not, and immediately upon
completion of the sale of the Shares contemplated by this
Agreement will not be, required to register as an "investment
company" under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
In rendering such opinion, counsel to the Company may rely as to
matters of local law, on opinions of local counsel, and as to
matters of fact, on certificates of officers of the Company and of
governmental officials, in which case their opinion is to state that
they are so doing.
In addition, such counsel will state in such opinion
letters that it has participated in conferences with officials and
other representatives of the Company, you, Underwriters' counsel and
the independent public accountants of the Company, at which
conferences the contents of the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus and related matters were discussed, and although they have
not verified the accuracy or completeness of the statements contained
in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, nothing has come to
the attention of counsel to the Company that caused them to believe
that, at the time the Registration Statement became effective, the
Registration Statement (except as to financial statements, financial
data and schedules contained therein, as to which such counsel need
make no statement) contained any untrue statement of a material fact
or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or on the
Closing Date the Prospectus (except as aforesaid) contained any untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances in which made, not misleading.
(b) Such opinion or opinions of Ater Wynne Hewitt Dodson &
Skerritt, LLC, as counsel for the Underwriters dated the Closing Date
or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be, with respect to the
incorporation of the Company, the sufficiency of all corporate
proceedings and other legal matters relating to this Agreement; the
validity of the Shares, the Registration Statement and the Prospectus
and other related matters as you may reasonably require. The Company
will furnish to such counsel such documents, papers and records as
they may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling them to pass
upon such matters. In connection with such opinions, such counsel may
rely on representations or certificates of officers of the Company and
governmental officials.
(c) A certificate of the Company executed by the Chief Executive
Officer or President and the chief financial or accounting officer of
the Company, dated the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as the
case may be, to the effect that:
(1) The representations and warranties of the Company set
forth in Section 1.1 of this Agreement are true and correct as of the
date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date or the Option
Closing Date, as the case may be, and the Company has complied in all
material respects with all the agreements and satisfied all the
conditions specified herein on its
<PAGE>
part to be performed or satisfied on or prior to the Closing Date or
the Option Closing Date, as the case may be.
(2) The Commission has not issued any order preventing or
suspending the use of the Prospectus or any Preliminary Prospectus
filed as a part of the Registration Statement or any amendment
thereto. No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement has been issued and, to the best of the
knowledge of the respective signers, no proceedings for that purpose
have been instituted or are pending or contemplated under the Act.
(3) Each of the respective signers of the certificate has
carefully examined the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and,
to the best of his knowledge, the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto contain all
statements required to be stated therein regarding the Company, and
neither the Registration Statement nor any amendment or supplement
thereto includes any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, and neither the
Prospectus nor any amendment or supplement thereto includes any
untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances in which made,
not misleading.
(d) Letters from KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, independent
accountants for the Company, on each of the date this Agreement is
executed, the Closing Date and the Option Closing Date, addressed to
you, as the Representative of the Underwriters, to the effect that
they are independent public accountants with respect to the Company
within the meaning of the Act and the Rules and Regulations and
containing statements and information of the type ordinarily included
in accountants' "comfort letters" to underwriters with respect to
financial statements and certain financial information contained in
the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, in form and substance
satisfactory to you.
(e) Such other certificates or documents as you may reasonably
request be delivered from the Company to you as the Representative of
the Underwriters.
All such opinions, certificates, letters and documents will be in
compliance with the provisions hereof only if they are reasonably
satisfactory to you and to Ater Wynne Hewitt Dodson & Skerritt, LLC, counsel
for the Underwriters. The Company will furnish you with such manually signed
or conformed copies of such opinions, certificates, letters and documents as
you reasonably request. Any certificate signed by any officer of the Company
and delivered to the Representative or to counsel for the Underwriters will
be deemed to be a representation and warranty by the Company to the
Underwriters as to the statements made therein.
6.4. Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement and
prior to the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be,
there has not been any change or any development involving a prospective
change in or affecting the general affairs, management, financial position,
shareholders' equity or results of operations of the Company other than as
set forth or contemplated in the Prospectus, the effect of which, in your
judgment is material and adverse to the Company and makes it impracticable or
inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Shares
being delivered at the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as the case
may be, on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus.
6.5. If any condition to the Underwriters' obligations hereunder to
be satisfied prior to or at the Closing Date is not so satisfied, this
Agreement, at your election, will terminate upon notification from you as the
Representative to the Company without liability on the part of any
Underwriter or the Company except for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed
by the Company pursuant to Sections 5 and 7 hereof and except to the extent
provided in Section 10 hereof.
SECTION 7. REIMBURSEMENT OF UNDERWRITERS' EXPENSES. Notwithstanding any
other provisions hereof, if this Agreement is terminated by you pursuant to
Section 6, or if the sale to the Underwriters of the Shares on
<PAGE>
the Closing Date is not consummated because of any refusal, inability or
failure on the part of the Company to perform any agreement herein or to
comply with any provision hereof, the Company agrees to reimburse you and the
other Underwriters, upon demand, for all out-of-pocket expenses that have
been incurred by you or by them in connection with the proposed purchase and
the sale of the Shares, including but not limited to fees and disbursements
of counsel, printing expenses, travel expenses, postage, telegraph charges
and telephone charges relating directly to the offering contemplated by the
Prospectus; provided, however, that such expenses will not include any
portion of overhead or the salary or wages of any Underwriter's employees and
will not exceed $25,000. Any such termination will be without liability of
any party to any other party except that the provisions of this Section 7,
Section 5 and Section 8 will at all times be effective and will apply.
SECTION 8. INDEMNIFICATION.
8.1. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each
Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the
meaning of the Act, against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
expenses, joint or several, to which such Underwriter or such controlling
person may become subject, under the Act, the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or other federal or state statutory
law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of
any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of
the Company), insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arise out of
or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment or
supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged
omission to state in any of them a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements in any of them not misleading, or
arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of any material fact contained in any Preliminary Prospectus or the
Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are
based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading; and will reimburse each Underwriter and each such controlling
person for any legal and other expenses in connection with investigating,
defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage,
liability, expense or action; provided however, (i) that the Company will not
be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the
Registration Statement, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus or any
amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon and in conformity with
information furnished in writing to the Company by the Representative on
behalf of any Underwriter specifically for use therein, and (ii) that such
indemnity with respect to any Preliminary Prospectus will not inure to the
benefit of any Underwriter from whom the person asserting any such loss,
claim, damage or liability purchased the Shares which are the subject thereof
if such person did not receive a copy of the Prospectus (or the Prospectus as
amended or supplemented) at or prior to the confirmation of the sale of such
Shares to such person in any case where such delivery is required by the Act
and the untrue statement or omission of a material fact contained in such
Preliminary Prospectus was corrected in the Prospectus (or the Prospectus as
amended or supplemented). In addition to its other obligations under this
Section 8.1, the Company agrees that, as an interim measure during the
pendency of any claim, action, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding
arising out of or based upon any statement or omission, or any alleged
statement or omission, or any inaccuracy in the representations and
warranties of the Company herein or failure to perform its obligations
hereunder, all as described in this Section 8.1, it will reimburse each
Underwriter on a quarterly basis for all legal or other expenses incurred in
connection with investigating or defending any such claim, action,
investigation, inquiry or other proceeding, notwithstanding the absence of a
judicial determination as to the propriety and enforceability of the
Company's obligation to reimburse each Underwriter for such expenses and the
possibility that such payments might later be held to have been improper by a
court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent that any such interim
reimbursement payment is so held to have been improper, each Underwriter will
promptly return it to the Company. This indemnity agreement will be in
addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have.
8.2. Each Underwriter will severally indemnify and hold harmless
the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signed the
Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who, within the meaning of
the Act, controls the Company against any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses to which the
<PAGE>
Company, any such director or officer, or any such controlling person may
become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act, or other federal or state
statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in
settlement of any litigation, if such settlement is effected with the written
consent of such Underwriter), insofar as such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below)
arise out of or are based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of any
material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Preliminary
Prospectus, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise
out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to
the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, any
Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement
thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with the information furnished to
the Company, in writing by the Representative on behalf of any Underwriter
specifically for use therein; and will reimburse the Company, any such
director or officer, or any such controlling person for any legal and other
expense reasonably incurred by the Company, any such director or officer, or
any such controlling person in connection with investigating, defending,
settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability,
expense or action. In addition to its other obligations under this Section
8.2, each Underwriter severally agrees that, as an interim measure during the
pendency of any claim, action, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding
arising out of or based upon any statement or omission, or any alleged
statement or omission, described in this Section 8.2 that relates to such
information furnished to the Company, it will reimburse the Company (and, to
the extent applicable, each director and officer, and any such controlling
person) on a quarterly basis for all reasonable legal or other expenses
incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such claim,
action, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding, notwithstanding the
absence of a judicial determination as to the propriety and enforceability of
the Underwriters' obligation to reimburse the Company (and, to the extent
applicable, each director and officer, and any such controlling person) for
such expenses and the possibility that such payments might later be held to
have been improper by a court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent that
any such interim reimbursement payment is so held to have been improper, the
Company (and, to the extent applicable, each director and officer (and any
such controlling person) will promptly return it to the Underwriters. This
indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which such
Underwriter may otherwise have.
8.3. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party
will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying
party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the
commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party
will not relieve an indemnifying party from any liability which it may have
to any indemnified party for contribution or otherwise than under the
indemnity agreement contained in this Section 8 or to the extent it is not
prejudiced as a proximate result of such failure. In case any such action is
brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or
intends to seek indemnity from an indemnifying party, the indemnifying party
will be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it may wish,
jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, to assume the
defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified
party; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both
the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party
has reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict between the positions
of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense
of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or
other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those
available to the indemnifying party, the indemnified party or parties will
have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and
to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such
indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying
party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense of
such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the
indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this
Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such
indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless (i) the
indemnified party has employed such counsel in connection with the assumption
of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding
sentence, or (ii) the indemnifying party has not employed counsel reasonably
satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party
within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, in each
of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel will be at the expense of the
indemnifying party.
<PAGE>
8.4. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is
required by its terms but is for any reason held to be unavailable to or
otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section
8.1 or Section 8.2 with respect to any losses, claims, damages, liabilities
or expenses referred to herein, then each applicable indemnifying party will
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a
result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to
herein (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative
benefits received by the Company, and the Underwriters from the offering of
the Shares, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not
permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the
relative fault of the Company, and the Underwriters in connection with the
statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The respective relative benefits received by the Company,
and the Underwriters will be deemed to be in the same proportion, in the case
of the Company, as the total price paid to the Company for the Shares sold by
it to the Underwriters (net of underwriting commissions but before deducting
expenses) and, in the case of the Underwriters, as the underwriting
commissions received by them bears to the total of such amounts paid by the
Company and received by the Underwriters as underwriting commissions. The
relative fault of the Company, and the Underwriters will be determined by
reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact relates to information supplied by the Company, or the
Underwriters and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above will be deemed to
include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.3, any legal or
other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with
investigating or defending any action or claim. The provisions set forth in
Section 8.3 with respect to notice of commencement of any action will apply
if a claim for contribution is to be made under this Section 8.4; provided,
however, that no additional notice will be required with respect to any
action for which notice has been given under Section 8.3 for purposes of
indemnification. The Company, and the Underwriters agree that it would not
be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8.4 were
determined solely by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were
treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation
that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to
herein. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8.4, no Underwriter
will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount of the
total underwriting commissions received by such Underwriter in connection
with the Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public. No person
guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f)
of the Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person who was not
guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters' obligations
to contribute pursuant to this Section 8.4 are several in proportion to their
respective underwriting commitments and not joint.
8.5. In the event that suit or action is instituted with respect
to any failure to comply, or any alleged failure to comply, by the Company
with any obligation of the Company under any covenants or obligations as
stated in this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover
its attorney fees, including those incurred on appeal, as determined by the
court.
SECTION 9. DEFAULT OF UNDERWRITERS. It will be a condition to this
Agreement and the obligation of the Company to sell and deliver the Shares
hereunder, and of each Underwriter to purchase the Shares in the manner as
described herein, that, except as hereinafter in this paragraph provided,
each of the Underwriters will purchase and pay for all the Shares agreed to
be purchased by such Underwriter hereunder upon tender to the Representative
of all such shares in accordance with the terms hereof. If any Underwriter
or Underwriters default in their obligations to purchase Shares hereunder on
either the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date and the aggregate number
of Shares that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed
to purchase on such Closing Date does not exceed 10 percent of the total
number of Shares that the Underwriters are obligated to purchase on the
Closing Date or Option Closing Date, as the case may be, the nondefaulting
Underwriters will be obligated severally, in proportion to their respective
commitments hereunder, to purchase the Shares that such defaulting
Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on the Closing Date or Option
Closing Date, as the case may be. If any Underwriter or Underwriters so
default and the aggregate number of Shares with respect to which such default
occurs is more than the above percentage and arrangements satisfactory to the
Representative, and the Company for the purchase of such Shares by other
persons are not made within 48 hours after such default, this Agreement will
terminate without liability on the part of any nondefaulting Underwriter or
the Company except for the expenses
<PAGE>
to be paid by the Company pursuant to Section 5 hereof and except to the
extent provided in Section 7 hereof.
In the event that Shares to which a default relates are to be purchased
by the nondefaulting Underwriters or by another party or parties, the
Representative or the Company will have the right to postpone the Closing
Date or Option Closing Date, as the case may be, for not more than five
business days in order that the necessary changes in the Registration
Statement, Prospectus and any other documents, as well as any other
arrangements, may be effected. As used in this Agreement, the term
"Underwriter" includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this
Section. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability
for its default.
SECTION 10. TERMINATION. Without limiting the right to terminate this
Agreement pursuant to any other provision hereof, this Agreement may be
terminated by you by notice to the Company as follows:
10.1. At any time prior to the earlier of (i) the time the
Shares are released by you for sale by notice to the Underwriters or (ii)
4:00 p.m., Portland, Oregon time, on the first business day following the
later of the date on which the Registration Statement becomes effective or
the date of this Agreement; or
10.2. At any time prior to the Closing Date (i) if additional
material governmental restrictions, not in force and effect on the date
hereof, will have been imposed upon trading in securities generally or
minimum or maximum prices have been generally established on the New York
Stock Exchange or on the American Stock Exchange or in the over the
counter market by the NASD, or trading in securities generally has
been suspended on either such Exchange or in the over the counter
market by the NASD, or a general banking moratorium has been
established by federal, New York or Oregon authorities, (ii) if an
outbreak of major hostilities or other national or international
calamity or any substantial change in political, financial or economic
conditions has occurred or has accelerated or escalated to such an
extent as, in the reasonable judgment of the Representative, to affect
materially and adversely the marketability of the Shares, (iii) if any
adverse event has occurred or exists that makes untrue or incorrect,
in any material respect, any statement or information contained in the
Registration Statement or Prospectus or which is not reflected in the
Registration Statement or Prospectus but should be reflected therein
in order to make the statements or information contained therein not
misleading in any material respect, or (iv) if there is any action,
suit or proceeding pending or threatened, or there has been any
development or prospective development involving particularly the
business or properties or securities of the Company or the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, that, in the reasonable
judgment of the Representative, may materially and adversely affect
the Company's business or earnings and makes it impracticable or
inadvisable to offer or sell the Shares.
10.3. Any termination pursuant to this Section 10 will be
without liability on the part of any Underwriter to the Company or on the
part of the Company to any Underwriter (except for expenses to be paid or
reimbursed by the Company pursuant to Sections 5 and 7 hereof and except
to the extent provided in Section 8 hereof.
SECTION 11. REPRESENTATIONS AND INDEMNITIES TO SURVIVE DELIVERY. The
respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other
statements of the Company, and of the several Underwriters set forth in or made
pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of
any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, the Company, or any
of its or their partners, officers or directors or any controlling person, as
the case may be, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Shares sold
hereunder or any termination of this Agreement.

Security Bank hereby establishes the Security Bank Phantom Stock Deferred
Compensation Plan (the "Plan") for a select group of its key employees
eligible to participate in the Plan pursuant to its terms, effective as of
January 1, 1996.
1. PURPOSE: The purpose of this Plan is to provide for an unfunded,
nonqualified deferred compensation arrangement for a select group of key
employees of the Bank in order to assist in attracting and retaining such key
employees and to encourage such employees to devote their best efforts to the
business of the Bank.
2. DEFINITIONS:

the Bank and the Employee. Each Plan Year deferral will be covered by a
separate Agreement.

members of a controlled group, as defined in Internal Revenue Code Section
1563 and the related regulations.
2.03 "Beneficiary" means the person or persons or other entity or
entities that have been designated by the Employee to receive, after his
death, benefits under the Plan in accordance with the terms of the Plan. The
designation by the Employee must be on forms prescribed by the Bank and must
be filed with the Bank. Should the Employee fail to designate a Beneficiary,
or should the designated Beneficiary fail to survive the Employee, the
benefits due hereunder shall be paid to the Employee's estate. Beneficiary
designations may be revoked or changed by filing a new Beneficiary
designation with the Bank.
2.04 "Change of Control" shall be deemed to have occurred in the
event of any dissolution or liquidation of Security Bank Holding Company, or
any merger or consolidation with one or more corporations in which Security
Bank Holding Company's shareholders do not continue to hold or otherwise
receive 50 percent or more of the common stock outstanding immediately after
such merger or consolidation of the surviving or continuing company.
2.05 "Commencement Date" means the first day of the Plan Year with
respect to which a Compensation deferral occurs.
2.06 "Committee" shall mean the committee appointed by the Board of
Directors of the Bank to administer this Plan.
2.07 "Compensation" means the Employee's base salary to be received
during a Plan Year from the Bank and any bonus earned by and payable to the
Employee from the Bank with respect to any Plan Year.
2.08 "Disability" means a physical or mental condition of a
Participant resulting from bodily injury, disease, or mental disorder which
renders him incapable of continuing his usual and customary employment with
the Bank. The disability of a Participant shall be determined by a licensed
physician chosen by the Committee. The determination shall be applied
uniformly to all Participants.
2.09 "Deferred Compensation Amount' means the cumulative deferrals
of the Participant, plus the Employer Contributions, if any, and plus the
accretions for earnings, and minus any previous payments made to the
Participant in accordance with the provisions of section 6 of the Plan.

<PAGE>
Account of a Participant.
2.12 "Phantom Stock Unit" shall mean an accounting device to measure
the amount of the Deferred Compensation Amount. A Phantom Stock Unit will
mirror one share of Security Bank Holding Company Common Stock. It shall not
entitle a participant to any rights to common or preferred stock of the Bank
or any of its affiliates.
2.13 "Plan Year" means the calendar year.
2.14 "Participant" means an Employee who has elected to defer a
portion of his Compensation under this Plan, or an Employee who has a
Deferred Compensation Account under this Plan.

financial need if the hardship is caused by one or more of the following:
(a) Accident or illness involving the Participant, a member
of the Participant's immediate family or household or another
dependent, (as defined in Code Section 152) if medical
expenses would be deductible under Section 213(d) of the
Internal Revenue Code;
(b) The cost of preventing an eviction or mortgage
foreclosure on the principal residence of the Participant, or;
(c) Any other deemed immediate and heavy financial need which
the Internal Revenue Service may designate.
3. ADMINISTRATION: The Committee shall have full power and authority
to administer and interpret the Plan, subject to the provisions of the Plan
and to such matters as are reserved under the Plan to the Board of Directors
of the Bank. The Committee may adopt such administrative guidelines and
procedures as it deems necessary or helpful in administering the Plan.
4. ELIGIBILITY: The Board of Directors shall designate the Employees
who may participate in the Plan for a Plan Year from among those employees of
the Bank who are eligible for designation. The employees who are eligible
for designation for participation shall be those employees who are members of
a select group of management or highly compensated employees. Participation
in the Plan will be on a Plan Year by Plan Year basis, and participation for
any Plan Year will not, in and of itself, entitle an employee to participate
for any other Plan Year.
5. COMPENSATION DEFERRED:
5.01 Compensation to be deferred - An Employee may elect to
defer part of his Compensation for a Plan Year, except that:
(a) deferrals from base salary shall be limited to amounts in
excess of the base salary of the participant in effect as of
the last day of 1995. For a participant initially hired after
1995, deferrals from base salary shall be limited to amounts
in excess of 95 percent of initial base salary;
(b) deferrals from cash bonuses are permitted up to 100
percent of the cash bonus;
(c) the minimum deferral for a Plan Year shall be 2 percent
of base salary. If a deferral from cash bonuses is elected,
the deferral must be at least 20 percent of any cash
bonus. A Participant may elect to defer from base salary
only, cash bonuses only, or from both base salary and
bonuses.
(d) the maximum lifetime deferrals for a participant shall be
limited to $200,000, notincluding earnings or losses on the
amounts deferred.
Deferrals from base salary shall be withheld in substantially equal amounts
from the base salary otherwise payable
<PAGE>
for the Plan Year for which the deferral is made. Deferrals from bonuses
shall be withheld from the bonus otherwise payable for the Plan Year for
which the deferral is made.
5.02 Time and Method of Election to Defer - Election to defer shall
be made at any tine prior to the beginning of the Plan Year for which the
Compensation shall be deferred. Any election so made shall be irrevocable
with respect to that Plan Year. If no election is made, all Compensation
shall be paid on a regular basis during the Plan Year. Election shall be by
written notice to the Bank. For the first Plan Year, the election must be
made within thirty days of the adoption of the Plan, and shall apply only to
compensation payable after the date of election.
5.03 The Board of Directors of the Bank, in its sole and absolute
discretion, may make an Employer Contribution to the Deferred Compensation
Amount of a Participant. Once made, the Employer Contribution shall be
treated as if it had been a deferral of the Employee, and subject to the same
rights and benefits available to a Participant with respect to deferrals from
his compensation. All Employer Contributions made pursuant to this paragraph
5.03 shall be made effective as of the last day of the Plan Year.
6. PAYMENT:
6.01 All distributions under this plan shall be in cash, and the
Participant will not be entitled to stock of Security Bank Holding Company or
its affiliates.
6.02 Payment of the Deferred Compensation Amount shall be made
within sixty days after the earlier of the Participant's death, disability,
attainment of the age selected in the Agreement, termination of employment
with the Bank, or upon a Change in Control, as defined in Paragraph 2.04.
6.03 In the event of the Participant's death prior to distribution
of the Deferred Compensation Amount, the Deferred Compensation Amount shall
be paid to the Participant's Beneficiary as soon as practical after the death
of the Participant.
6.04 In the event of the Participant's disability, the date for
determining the value of the Participant's Deferred Compensation Amount shall
be the date on which the Committee determines, by written instrument, that
the Participant is disabled.
6.05 In the event of Serious Financial Hardship of a Participant,
the Participant may request distribution of some or all of the Participant's
Deferred Compensation Amount. The Committee shall have the sole and absolute
discretion to grant such request. The Committee may require such evidence as
it deems necessary to determine if a distribution is warranted. The
Committee shall have the power to cease further deferrals by the Participant
in lieu of or in addition to permitting a distribution. Payment shall not be
made to the extent that the hardship is or may be relieved through
reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, or by liquidation of
the Participant's assets, to the extent such liquidation would not itself
cause Serious Financial Hardship. Distribution shall be limited to the amount
necessary to meet the emergency and the anticipated income taxes that would
arise from the distribution.
6.06 To the extent required by government regulations, all
distributions shall have the Participant's income and payroll taxes withheld
by the Bank, prior to distribution.
6.07 Notwithstanding paragraphs 6.02, 6.03 and 6.04, a Participant
may elect to have his Deferred Compensation Amount distributed over a period
not to exceed sixty (60) months. Such election must be in writing, and must
be furnished to the Committee in the calendar year prior to the calendar year
in which occurs the event requiring distribution. Such election shall set
forth the amount to be paid as of the event requiring distribution, and the
number of months over which distributions of the remaining balance in the
Deferred Compensation Amount shall occur. The election shall also specify if
the distributions shall continue as scheduled, or be accelerated and paid as
a lump sum, in the event of the Participant's death after the election has
become irrevocable, as provided in paragraph
<PAGE>
6.08. In the absence of an election by the Participant under this
paragraph, all distributions shall be paid as a lump sum.
6.09 An election by a Participant to have his Deferred Compensation
Amount distributed as other than a lump sum, made under the provisions of
paragraph 6.07, shall not be effective until first day of January immediately
following the date the written election is furnished to the Committee. The
election shall be irrevocable from said first day of January until the first
day of January next following. This provision shall not prevent the filing
of another election with the Committee, which election shall not become
effective until the first day of January immediately following the filing of
the new election. If two or more elections are filed during a calendar year,
the last filed election shall control and be effective as of the first day of
January immediately following. The provisions of this paragraph can be
illustrated by the following example:
On December 20, 1997, a Participant files an election (First
Election) with the Committee. On June 30, 1998, the Participant
files a new election (Second Election). On October 15, 1998 the
Participant files another election (Third Election).
The First Election shall control and be irrevocable for the period
January 1, 1998 through December 31, 1998. The Second Election,
having been superseded by the Third Election, shall be ineffective.
The Third Election shall control for the period January 1, 1999
forward, until superseded by a new election.
7. NATURE OF BANK'S OBLIGATION: This Plan is intended and
shall be construed as an unfunded plan maintained by the Bank
primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a
select group of management or highly compensated employees. The
benefits provided under this Plan shall be a general, unsecured
obligation of the Bank payable solely from the general assets of the
Bank, and neither the Participant nor the Participant's
Beneficiaries or estate shall have any interest in any assets of the
Bank by virtue of this Plan. No fund or other assets will ever be
set aside or segregated for the benefit of the Participant or the
Participant's Beneficiaries under this Plan. The adoption of this
Plan and any setting aside of amounts by the Bank with which to
discharge its obligations hereunder shall not be deemed to create a
trust; legal and equitable title to any funds so set aside shall
remain subject to the general creditors of the Bank. If it becomes
necessary for Participant to institute a claim, by litigation or
otherwise, to enforce his rights under the Plan, the Bank agrees to
indemnity Participant from and against all costs and expenses,
including legal fees, incurred by him in instituting and maintaining
such claim.
8. EARNINGS:
8.01 Each Plan year the Committee shall set the base price
at which Phantom Stock Units will be credited. The Committee shall
determine this base price by averaging the bid and asked prices of
Security Bank Holding Company Common Stock for the last ten (10)
trading days of the prior calendar year. This base price shall
apply to all deferrals of compensation for that Plan Year. Each
time a deferral of compensation occurs, the Participant will be
credited with Phantom Stock Units, the number of units being
determined by dividing the amount of compensation deferred by the
base price for that Plan year's deferrals. Upon the occurrence of
an event requiring distribution, the Deferred Compensation Amount
will be valued by multiplying the cumulative number of Phantom Stock
Units credited to the Participant times the average of the daily bid
and asked prices of Security Bank Holding Company Common Stock for
the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the date of the
event requiring distribution.
8.02 The number of Phantom Stock Units credited to the
account of a Participant shall be proportionately adjusted for any
increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Security Bank
Holding Company Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse
stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the
common stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of
shares of common stock effected without the receipt of consideration
by the Bank. The Committee shall have sole and absolute discretion
to determine the adjustments required in such event.
8.03 As of the record date of any dividend payable in cash
on the shares of Security Bank Holding Company Common Stock, there
shall be credited to the account of a Participant additional Phantom
Stock Units. The number of Phantom Stock Units so added shall be
determined by taking the number of Phantom Stock Units
<PAGE>
credited to the account of the Participant on the record date
multiplied by the cash dividend per share declared on the Security
Bank Holding Company Common Stock and dividing the resulting product
by the base price for the Phantom Stock Units in effect for the year
that includes the record date.
8.04 In the event of an election by the Participant under
paragraph 6.07, the number of Phantom Stock Units credited to a
Participant will be reduced. This reduction will occur as of each
distribution date, and the number of Phantom Stock Units to be
subtracted from the Participant's Deferred Compensation Amount will
be determined by dividing the amount of each cash distribution by
the average of the daily bid and asked prices for Security Bank
Holding Company Common Stock for the ten (10) trading days
immediately preceding each distribution date. The number of Phantom
Stock Units so determined shall be subtracted from the number of
Phantom Stock Units in the Participant's Deferred Compensation
Amount on each distribution date.
8.04 (Alternate) In the event of an election by the
Participant under paragraph 6.07, the number of Phantom Stock Units
credited to a Participant will be converted to a dollar amount,
determined by multiplying the cumulative number of Phantom. Stock
Units credited to the Participant times the average of the daily bid
and asked prices of Security Bank Holding Company Common Stock for
the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the date of the
event requiring distribution. This dollar amount shall bear
interest at a rate equal to one percent less than the Bank's prime
lending rate, adjusted at the same time as the Bank's prime lending
rate is adjusted. The account shall be reduced for all
distributions and increased for interest, computed monthly.
9. CLAIMS PROCEDURES:
9.01 Filing of a Claim for Benefits. For purposes of
implementing this claims procedure (but not for any other purpose)
the Committee is hereby designated as the named fiduciary and plan
administrator of this Plan. A participant or beneficiary of the
Plan shall make a claim for the benefits by delivering a written
request to the Committee or such person or office as the Committee
shall designate for the processing of claims. Upon receipt of such
request the Committee may require the claimant to complete such
forms and provide such additional information as may be reasonably
necessary to establish the claimant's right to a benefit under the
Plan.
9.02 Notification to Claimant of Decision. If a claim for
benefits is wholly or partially denied, the Committee (or the party
to who such authority has been delegated) shall furnish to the
claimant a notice of the decision, meeting the requirements of
paragraph (c) following, within ninety (90) days after receipt of
the claim by the Plan. If special circumstances require more than
ninety (90) days to process the claim, this period may be extended
for up to an additional ninety (90) days by giving written notice to
the claimant before the end of the initial 90-day period stating the
special circumstances requiring the extension and the date by which
a final decision is expected. Failure to provide a notice of
decision in the time specified shall constitute a denial of the
claim and the claimant shall be entitled to require a review of the
denial under the review procedures specified in paragraphs (d) and
(e) below.
9.03 Content of Notice. The notice to be provided to every
claimant who is denied a claim for benefits under paragraph 9.02
above shall be in writing and shall set forth in a manner calculated
to be understood by the claimant, the following:
(a) The specific reason or reasons for the denial;
(b) Specific reference to pertinent plan provisions on which
the denial is based;
(c) A description of any additional materials or information
necessary for the claimant to perfect the claim and an
explanation of why such material or information is necessary;
and
(d) An explanation of the plan's claim review procedure
describing the steps to be taken by a claimant who wishes to
submit his or her claim for review.
9.04 Review Procedure. The purpose of the review procedure set
forth in this paragraph and in paragraph 9.05 following is to provide a
procedure by which a claimant under the Plan may have a reasonable
opportunity to appeal a denial of the claim to an "appropriate named
fiduciary" for a full and fair review. As used herein, the term "appropriate
named fiduciary" shall mean the Board of Directors. To accomplish that
purpose, the claimant or his
<PAGE>
duly authorized representative:
(a) May request a review upon written application to the
appropriate named fiduciary;
(b) May review pertinent plan documents; and
(c) May submit issues and comments in writing.
A claimant (or his duly authorized representative) shall request a
review by filing a written application for review with the appropriate named
fiduciary at any time within sixty (60) days after receipt by the claimant of
written notice of the denial of his claim. If a claimant did not receive a
written notice of the denial of his claim and the claim is denied by virtue
of the failure of the Committee to provide a written denial within the tune
specified in paragraph 9.02 above, then a claimant (or his duly authorized
representative) shall request a review by filing a written application for
review with the appropriately named fiduciary at any time within sixty (60)
days after the expiration of the time specified in paragraph 9.02 above,
including extensions.
9.05 Decision on Review. The decision on review of denied claim
shall be made in the following manner:
(1) The decision on review shall be made by the appropriate
named fiduciary, who may in his or its discretion hold a
hearing on the denied claim. The appropriate named fiduciary
shall make his or its decision promptly, which shall
ordinarily be not later than sixty (60) days after the Plan's
receipt of the request for review, unless special
circumstances (such as the need for holding a hearing) require
an extension of time for processing. In that case, a decision
shall be rendered as soon as possible, but not later than one
hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of the request for
review. If an extension of time is required due to special
circumstances, written notice of the extension shall be
furnished to the claimant prior to the time the extension
commences.
(2) The decision on review shall be in writing and shall
include specific reasons for the decision, written in a manner
calculated to be understood by the claimant, as well as
specific references to the pertinent plan provisions on which
the decision is based.
(3) In the event the decision on review is not furnished to
the claimant within the time required, the claim shall be
deemed denied on review.
10. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS:
10.01 Amendment - This Plan may be amended from time to time or
terminated by the Board of Directors of the Bank,, but no such amendment or
termination, other than as provided in 10.02 of this Plan, may change an
election which an Employee has made, nor any rights and obligations
thereunder.
10.02 Termination - The Bank, by action of its Board of Directors,
may terminate the Plan at any time. Upon such termination, the Bank will
terminate further deferrals under the Plan with respect to deferrals for Plan
Years beginning after the date of the Bank's termination of the Plan. In the
event of termination of the Plan or cessation of deferrals, all other rights
and obligations shall continue until all Deferred Compensation Amounts have
been paid to all Participants under the terms of the Plan. If either the
federal tax laws change or are construed in such a manner as to adversely
affect the Bank's after tax cost to provide the benefits under the Plan or
the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (other
than reporting and disclosure requirements) become applicable to deferrals
under the Plan, the Bank may terminate the Plan, and immediately pay the
balance of the Deferred Compensation Amount to the Participant or, in the
event the Participant is deceased, to his designated beneficiaries.
10.03 Successors, Mergers, or Consolidations - Any Agreement under
the Plan shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon (i) the Bank and
its successors and assigns and upon any corporation into which the Bank may
be merged or consolidated, and (ii) the Employee, and his heirs, executors,
administrators and legal representatives.
10.04 Termination of Employment during Plan Year - If any Employee
terminates his employment for any
<PAGE>
reason during a Plan Year for which Compensation is to be deferred, the
actual deferral specified in his Agreement for the Plan Year shall be
adjusted to equal the actual amounts deferred under the Agreement prior to
such termination.
10.05 Assignment of Rights - The Plan, and the rights, interests and
benefits hereunder, shall not be assigned, transferred, pledged, sold,
conveyed, or otherwise alienated or encumbered in any way by the Participant
or his Beneficiary, and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or
similar process. Any attempted sale, conveyance, transfer, assignment,
pledge or encumbrance of the rights, interests or benefits provided pursuant
to the terms of the Plan, come to the terms of the foregoing sentence, or the
levy of any attachment or similar process thereupon, shall be null and void
and without effect.
10.06 Entire Agreement - This Plan constitutes the entire agreement
between the parties and the benefits hereunder shall be independent of, and
in addition to, any other benefits or compensation payable under any other
agreements that now exist or may hereafter exist from time to time between
Bank and Employee.
10.07 Construction - The Plan shall be governed by, and interpreted
and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Oregon.

Re: Proposed Public Offering of Security Bank Holding Company Common
Stock
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned has acted as counsel to Security Bank Holding Company
(the "Company") in the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement on
Form SB-1 (the "Registration Statement") under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, covering 402,500 shares (the "Shares") of the Company's Common
Stock, including 52,500 shares that may be sold by the Company upon exercise
of an option granted to the Underwriters to cover over-allotments.
In the course of our representation we have examined the Registration
Statement, copies of the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, and excerpts of
minutes of meetings of the Boards of Directors of the Company. We have also
received from officers of the Company certain other documents, corporate
records, and representations concerning factual matters. We have reviewed
such documents and have made such review of laws as we consider necessary for
purposes of this opinion.
We have relied as to matters of fact upon the above documents and
investigation. We have assumed without investigation the genuineness of all
signatures and the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals
and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as
certified or photostatic copies.
Based upon the foregoing and subject to the qualifications and
exceptions heretofore and hereinafter set forth, we are of the opinion that,
when the Registration Statement has been declared effective, the applicable
provisions of state securities laws have been complied with and the Company
has issued the Shares against payment therefor in the manner described the
Registration Statement, the shares will be validly issued and fully paid, and
non-assessable.
The opinion herein expressed are specifically subject to and qualified
by the following:
This opinion is limited to the present laws of the State of Oregon and
the United States of America and to the facts bearing on this opinion as they
exist on the date of this letter.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an Exhibit to the
Company's Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
FOSTER PEPPER & SHEFELMAN
